Hi,

I am trying to run OpenMPI on the Cray XK7 system at Oak Ridge National Lab 
(Titan), and am running in an issue whereby MPI_Init seems to hang 
indefinitely, but this issue only arises at large scale, e.g., when running on 
18560 compute nodes (with two MPI processes per node).  The application runs 
successfully on 4600 nodes, and we are currently trying to test a 9000 node job 
to see if this fails or runs.

We are launching our job using something like the following

# mpirun command                                                                
                   
mpicmd="$OMP_DIR/bin/mpirun --prefix $OMP_DIR -np 37120 --npernode 2 --bind-to 
core --bind-to numa $app $args"
# Print  and Run the Command                                                    
                   
echo $mpicmd
$mpicmd >& $output

Are there any issues that I should be aware of when running OpenMPI on 37120 
processes or when running on the Cray Gemini Interconnect?

We are using OpenMPI 1.7.1 (1.7.x is required for Cray Gemini support) and gcc 
4.7.2.

Thanks,

Mike.
