hi folks,
sorry to insist, i'll be glad if someone could point out the relevant
piece of info I missed.
these huge memory consumption cannot be explained easily on the user
side, especially since it's only seen on the master process node...
thanks,
éloi

hi,
when launching a parallel computation on 128 nodes using openib and
the "-mca btl_openib_receive_queues P,65536,256,192,128" option, i
observe a rather large memory consumption (2GB: 65336*256*128) on the
process with rank 0 (only).
this memory seems to be initialized and in use as the resident memory
indicator matches the virtual one. at the time of observation, a call
to MPI_Init has been done, but no communication (user side) has been
done.
i'd like to know why the other processes doesn't behave the same:
- other processes located on the same nodes don't use that amount of
memory
- all others processes (i.e. located on any other nodes) neither
i'm using OpenMPI-1.4.2, built with gcc-4.3.4 and
'--enable-cxx-exceptions --with-pic --with-threads=posix' options.
the cluster is based on eight-core nodes using mellanox hca.
thanks for your help,
