Hi do you know when you will have time to solve the problem with a rankfile? In the past you told me that my rankfile is correct.
linpc1 rankfiles 120 ompi_info | grep "Open MPI:" Open MPI: 1.6.4a1r27766 linpc1 rankfiles 121 mpiexec -report-bindings -np 1 \ -host linpc1 -cpus-per-proc 4 -bycore -bind-to-core hostname [linpc1:09621] MCW rank 0 bound to socket 0[core 0-1] socket 1[core 0-1]: [B B][B B] linpc1 linpc1 rankfiles 122 mpiexec -report-bindings -np 1 \ -rf my_rankfile hostname -------------------------------------------------------------------- We were unable to successfully process/set the requested processor affinity settings: Specified slot list: 0:0-1,1:0-1 Error: Error This could mean that a non-existent processor was specified, or that the specification had improper syntax. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- mpiexec was unable to start the specified application as it encountered an error: Error name: Error Node: linpc1 when attempting to start process rank 0. -------------------------------------------------------------------- linpc1 linpc1 rankfiles 123 cat my_rankfile rank 0=linpc1 slot=0:0-1,1:0-1 One more question: openmpi-1.7rc6r27786 and openmpi-1.9a1r27787 don't support "-cpus-per-proc" any longer. Will it be available in the future or have you removed this option? linpc1 fd1026 104 mpiexec -report-bindings -np 1 -host linpc1 \ -cpus-per-proc 4 -map-by core -bind-to core hostname mpiexec: Error: unknown option "-p" Type 'mpiexec --help' for usage. linpc1 fd1026 105 Thank you very much for your answer in advance. Kind regards Siegmar
