Hello Nathan,

I am using:
IMB 4.0 Update 2
gcc version 4.8.1
Intel compilers 15.0.1 20141023
xpmem from your github

I also tested pwscf (QuatumEespresso), here I can observe the same behavior. The entire calculation runs without problems, but a few mpi procs just stay alive and refuse to die, even with signal 9.
openmpi and pw was build with the intel compilers, xpmem with gcc.


Kind regards,
Tobias

What program are you using for the benchmark? Are you using the xpmem
branch in my github? For my testing I used a stock ubuntu 3.13 kernel
but I have not full stress-tested my xpmem branch.

I will see if I can reproduce and fix the hang.

Hello everyone,

currently I am benchmarking the different single copy mechanisms
knem/cma/xpmem on a Xeon E5 V3 machine.
I am using openmpi 1.8.4 with the CMA patch for vader.

While it turns out that xpmem is the clear winner (reproducing Nathan
Hjelm's results) I always ran into a problem at the mpi finalizing step. At
this step, at least one process hangs, and can't be killed anymore. To get
rid of the hanging process, the server has to be rebooted.

The applications finish successfully.

Unfortunately, I can't find any further development of the xpmem module. Is
this bug known to anyone? What kernel versions do you use?

Any help would be appreciated.

Tested kernel versions:
3.11.25-desktop (openSUSE)
3.18.9 (vanilla)
3.19.1 (vanilla)
