Well,

We all wish the Altair guys would at least try to maintain backwards compatibility with the community, but they have a big habit of breaking things. This isn't the first time they've broken a more customer facing function like tm_spawn. (The also like breaking pbs_statjob too!).

I have access to PBS Pro and I can raise the issue with Altair if it would help. Just let me know how I can be helpful.

Bummer!

If it helps, could you put us in touch with the PBS Pro people? We usually only have access to Torque when developing the TM-launching stuff (PBS Pro and Torque supposedly share the same TM interface, but we don't have access to PBS Pro, so we don't know if it has diverged over time).

Ralph,

This is my first build of OpenMPI so I haven't had this working before. I'm pretty confident that PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH issues are not the cause, otherwise launches outside of PBS would fail too. Also, I tried compiling everything statically with the same result.

Some additional info... (1) I did a diff on tm.h for PBS 10.2 and from version 8.0 that we had - they are identical, and (2) I've tried this with both the Intel 11.1 and GCC compilers and gotten the exact same run-time errors.

For now, I've got a a work-around setup that launches over ssh and still attaches the processes to PBS.

Thanks for your help.

Steve

Afraid compilers don't help when the param is a void*...

It looks like this is consistent, but I've never tried it under that particular environment. Did prior versions of OMPI work, or are you trying this for the first time?

One thing you might check is that you have the correct PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to point to this version of OMPI and the corresponding PBS Pro libs you used to build it. Most Linux distros come with OMPI installed, and that can cause surprises.

We run under Torque at major installations every day, so it - should- work...unless PBS Pro has done something unusual.

Yes, the failure seems to be in mpirun, it never even gets to my application.

The proto for tm_init looks like this:
int tm_init(void *info, struct tm_roots *roots);

where the struct has 6 elements: 2 x tm_task_id + 3 x int + 1 x tm_task_id

If the API was different, wouldn't the compiler most likely generate an error at compile-time?

Thanks!

I'm a tad confused - this trace would appear to indicate that mpirun is failing, yes? Not your application?

The reason it works for local procs is that tm_init isn't called for that case - mpirun just fork/exec's the procs directly. When remote nodes are required, mpirun must connect to Torque. This is done with a call to:

       ret = tm_init(NULL, &tm_root);

My guess is that something changed in PBS Pro 10.2 to that API. Can you check the tm header file and see? I have no access to PBS any more, so I'll have to rely on your eyes to see a diff.

Thanks
Ralph

Hello,

I'm having problems running Open MPI jobs under PBS Pro 10.2. I've configured and built OpenMPI 1.4.1 with the Intel 11.1 compiler on Linux and with --with-tm support and the build runs fine. I've also built with static libraries per the FAQ suggestion since libpbs is static. However, my test application keep failing with a segmentation fault, but ONLY when trying to select more than 1 node. Running on a single node withing PBS works fine. Also, running outside of PBS vis ssh runs fine as well, even across multiple nodes. OpenIB support is also enabled, but that doesn't seem to affect the error because I've also tried running with the --mca btl tcp,self flag and it still doesn't work. Here is the error I'm getting:

(NOTE: pbs_mpirun = orterun, mpirun, etc.)

Has anyone else seen errors like this within PBS?
