Hello Community,
I just finished building an OpenMPI version with custom configuration
(1.4.4) on a server. I do not have root privileges on the server.
The server already had a "default" version on OpenMPI, which seemed to be
single-threaded:
ompi_info | grep Thread yields Thread support: posix (mpi: no, progress: no)
For my custom build, I have MPI thread support (precisely, support for
MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE):
/path/to/Custom/OpenMPI/bin/ompi_info | grep Thread yields Thread support:
posix (mpi: yes, progress: no)
Thus, I run my application as:
/path/to/Custom/OpenMPI/bin/mpirun [options]...
In my application, I do make a check for whether I am getting
MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE support or not:
MPI_Init_thread(&argc, &argv, desired_thread_support,
&provided_thread_support);/*Need provided_thread_support =
desired_thread_support*/
printf ("MPI: Requested thread support: %d, MPI thread support received:
%d\n", MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE, provided_thread_support);
When I run the application, I get:
MPI: Requested thread support: 3, MPI thread support received: 0
I have tried lot of things, and I am not sure why this is the case.
At the beginning of the shell script which contains
/path/to/Custom/OpenMPI/bin/mpirun [options]..., I set the paths, and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
PATH=/home/raid/private/Customizations_NODELETE/OpenMPI-1.4.4/bin:$PATH
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/raid/private/Customizations_NODELETE/gcc-4.6/lib64:/home/Morpheus/.CustomInstalledPrograms/OpenMPI-1.4.4/lib:/home/raid/private/Customizations_NODELETE/gcc-4.6/lib32
So, I think that the correct version of mpirun is being used.
Can someone tell me why I cannot get MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE support?
I have the same OpenMPI version on my notebook, which does provide me with
MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE.
Thanks a lot.
Best,
Devendra
