Hi Everyone,
I wrote a small program with a function to trigger the
checkpointing mechanism as follows:
############################################
#include <mpi.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
void trigger_checkpoint();
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int rank,size;
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);
printf("I am processor no %d of a total of %d procs \n", rank, size);
system("sleep 10");
trigger_checkpoint();
printf("I am processor no %d of a total of %d procs \n", rank, size);
system("sleep 10");
printf("I am processor no %d of a total of %d procs \n", rank, size);
system("sleep 10");
printf("bye \n");
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
void trigger_checkpoint()
{
printf("hi\n");
system("ompi-checkpoint -v `pidof mpirun` ");
}
#############################################
The application works fine on my laptop with ubuntu as the OS. However, when I
tried running it on one of the machines at my uni, with suse linux installed,
the application hangs as soon as the ompi-checkpoint is triggered. This is what
I get:
##########################################################
I am processor no 0 of a total of 1 procs
hi
I am processor no 0 of a total of 1 procs
[sun06:15426] orte_checkpoint: Checkpointing...
[sun06:15426] PID 15411
[sun06:15426] Connected to Mpirun [[12727,0],0]
[sun06:15426] orte_checkpoint: notify_hnp: Contact Head Node Process PID 15411
does anyone has some ideas about this?
Thank a lot
Jean.
