Hi, I have figured out how to run the command. OMPI_RANKFILE=$HOME/$PBS_JOBID.ranks mpirun -np 200 -rf $OMPI_RANKFILE --mca btl self,sm,openib -output-filename 700g200i200p14ye ./myapplication Each process print out to a distinct file. But, the program is terminated by the error :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------=>> PBS: job killed: node 18 (n314) requested job terminate, 'EOF' (code 1099) - received SISTER_EOF attempting to communicate with sister MOM'smpirun: Forwarding signal 10 to jobmpirun: killing job... --------------------------------------------------------------------------mpirun was unable to cleanly terminate the daemons on the nodes shownbelow.

I have also run valgrind to do mem check in order to find the possible reason for the original signal 9 (SIGKILL) problem. mpirun -np 200 -rf $OMPI_RANKFILE --mca btl self,sm,openib /usr/bin/valgrind --tool=memcheck --error-limit=no --leak-check=yes --log-file=nsga2b_g700_pop200_p200_valg_cystorm_mpi.log ./myapplication But, I got the similar error as the above. What does the error mean ? I cannot change the file system of the cluster. I only want to find a way to find the bug, which only appears in the case that the problem size is very large. But, I am stucked by the SIGKILL and then the above MOM_SISTER issues now. Any help is really appreciated. thanks Jack --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------From: r...@open-mpi.org List-Post: users@lists.open-mpi.org Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2011 20:47:19 -0600 To: us...@open-mpi.org Subject: Re: [OMPI users] OMPI error terminate w/o reasons
That command line cannot possibly work. Both the -rf and --output-filename options require arguments. PLEASE read the documentation? mpirun -h, or "man mpirun" will tell you how to correctly use these options.

The cluster also print out possible error messages into one file. But, sometimes the error file is empty , sometimes it is signal 9. If I only run dummy tasks on worker nodes, no errors. If I run real task, sometimes processes are terminated w/o any errors before the program normally exit.Sometimes, the program get signal 9 but no other error messages. It is weird.

Alternatively, since you can put print statements into your code, have you considered using mpirun's option to direct output from each rank into its own file? Look at "mpirun -h" for the options. -output-filename|--output-filename <arg0> Redirect output from application processes into filename.rank On Mar 26, 2011, at 2:48 PM, Jack Bryan wrote:Is it possible to enable padb to print out the stack trace and other program execute information into a file ?

As for the script - unless you can somehow modify it to allow you to run under a debugger, I am afraid you are completely out of luck.

They may not stop at the same point when the program got signal 9. So, even though I can figure out the print out statements from all200 processes, so many different locations where the processesare stopped make it harder to find out some hints about the bug. Are there some other programming tricks, which can help me narrow down to the doubt points ASAP.Any help is appreciated.

The system will generate SIGKILL for a process itself under some unusual conditions where the program cannot possibly continue to run (even to run a signal handler). But, the error message does not indicate any possible reasons for the termination. There is a FOR loop in the main() program, if the loop number is small (< 200), the program works well, but if it becomes lager and larger, the program will got SIGKILL. The cluster where I am running the MPI program does not allow running debug tools. If I run it on a workstation, it will take a very very long time (for > 200 loops) in order to get the error occur again. What can I do to find the possible bugs ?
