Michael, The available space must be greater than the requested size + 5%
From the logs, the error message makes sense to me : there is not enough space in /tmp Since the compute nodes have a lot of memory, you might want to try using /dev/shm instead of /tmp for the backing files Cheers, Gilles michael.rach...@dlr.de wrote: >Dear developers of OPENMPI, > >We have now installed and tested the bugfixed OPENMPI Nightly Tarball of >2014-10-24 (openmpi-dev-176-g9334abc.tar.gz) on Cluster5 . >As before (with OPENMPI-1.8.3 release version) the small Ftn-testprogram runs >correctly on the login-node. >As before the program aborts on the compute node, but now with a different >error message: > >The following message appears when launching the program with 2 processes: >mpiexec -np 2 -bind-to core -tag-output ./a.out >************************************************************************************************ >[1,0]<stdout>: ========on nodemaster: iwin= 685 : >[1,0]<stdout>: total storage [MByte] alloc. in shared windows so far: >137.000000000000 >[ [1,0]<stdout>: =========== allocation of shared window no. iwin= 686 >[1,0]<stdout>: starting now with idim_1= 50000 >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >It appears as if there is not enough space for >/tmp/openmpi-sessions-rachner@r5i5n13_0/48127/1/shared_window_688.r5i5n13 (the >shared-memory backing >file).
