Ifeanyi, I am usually the one that responds to checkpoint/restart questions, but unfortunately I do not have time to look into this issue at the moment (and probably won't for at least a few more months). There are a few other developers that work on the checkpoint/restart functionality that might be able to more immediately help you. Hopefully they will chime in.
At one point in time (about a year ago) I was able to checkpoint/restart the NAS benchmarks (and other applications) without issue. From the error message that you posted earlier, it seems that something has broken in the 1.6 branch. Unfortunately, I do not have any advice on an alternative branch to try. The C/R functionality in the Open MPI trunk is known to be broken. There is a patch for the trunk making its way through testing at the moment. Once that is committed then you should be able to use the Open MPI trunk until someone fixes the 1.6 branch. Sorry I cannot be of much help. Hopefully others can assist. -- Josh On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 1:22 AM, Ifeanyi <ifeanyeg2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear, > > Please help. > > I configured the open mpi and it can checkpoint HPL. > > However, whenever I want to checkpoint NAS parallel benchmark it kills the > application without informative message. > > Please how do I configure the openmpi 1.6 to checkpoint NPB?
