Dear Ralph,
Thanks for the answer, I am using OMPI v1.4.1.
Best regards,

Dear all,
Initially I would like an advice of how to identify the maximum number of MPI processes
that can be executed on a node with oversubscribing. When I try to execute an application
with 4096 MPI processes on a 24-cores node with 48GB of memory, I have an error
"Unknown error: 1" while the memory is not even at the half. I can execute the
same application with 2048 MPI processes in less than one minute. I have checked linux
settings about maximum number of processes and it is much bigger than 4096.
Another more generic question, is about discovering nodes with faulty memory.
Is there any way to identify nodes with faulty memory? I found accidentally
that a node with exact the same hardware couldn't execute an MPI application
when it was using more than 12GB of ram while the second one could use all of
the 48GB of memory. If I have 500+ nodes is difficult to check all of them and
I am not familiar with any efficient solution. Initially I thought about
memtester but it takes a lot of time. I know that this does not apply exactly
on this mailing list but I thought that maybe an OpenMPI user knows something
about.
Best regards,
George Markomanolis
