It's the public source. The one I'm testing with is the latest internal
version. I'm going to cc Pete Mendygral and Julius Donnert on this as
they may be able to provide you the version I'm using (as it is not
ready for public use).

Hi, Paul
I must say, this is eerily appropo. I've just sent a request for
Wombat last week as I was planning to have my group start looking
at the performance of UCX OSC on IB. We are most interested in
ensuring UCX OSC MT performs well on Wombat. The bitbucket you're
referencing; is this the source code? Can we build and run it?
Best,
Josh

I forgot to include that we have not rebuilt this OpenMPI
4.0.1 against 1.6.0 of UCX but rather 1.5.1. When we upgraded
to 1.6.0 everything seemed to be working for OpenMPI when we
swapped the UCX version with out recompiling (at least in
normal rank level MPI as we had to do the upgrade to UCX to
get MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE to work at all).

Sure. The code I'm using is the latest version of Wombat
(https://bitbucket.org/pmendygral/wombat-public/wiki/Home ,
I'm using an unreleased updated version as I know the devs).
I'm using OMP_THREAD_NUM=12 and the command line is:
mpirun -np 16 --hostfile hosts ./wombat
Where the host file lists 4 machines, so 4 ranks per machine
and 12 threads per rank. Each node has 48 Intel Cascade Lake
cores. I've also tried using the Slurm scheduler version
which is:
srun -n 16 -c 12 --mpi=pmix ./wombat
Which also hangs. It works if I constrain to one or two
nodes but any greater than that hangs. As for network hardware:

As for IB RDMA kernel stack we are using the default drivers
that come with CentOS 7.6.1810 which is rdma core 17.2-3.
I will note that I successfully ran an old version of Wombat
on all 30,000 cores of this system using OpenMPI 3.1.3 and
regular IB Verbs with no problem earlier this week, though
that was pure MPI ranks with no threads. Nonetheless the
fabric itself is healthy and in good shape. It seems to be
this edge case using the latest OpenMPI with UCX and threads
that is causing the hang ups. To be sure the latest version
of Wombat (as I believe the public version does as well) uses
many of the state of the art MPI RMA direct calls, so its
definitely pushing the envelope in ways our typical user base
here will not. Still it would be good to iron out this kink
so if users do hit it we have a solution. As noted UCX is
very new to us and thus it is entirely possible that we are
missing something in its interaction with OpenMPI. Our MPI
is compiled thusly:
https://github.com/fasrc/helmod/blob/master/rpmbuild/SPECS/centos7/openmpi-4.0.1-fasrc01.spec
I will note that when I built this it was built using the
default version of UCX that comes with EPEL (1.5.1). We only
built 1.6.0 as the version provided by EPEL did not build
with MT enabled, which to me seems strange as I don't see any
reason not to build with MT enabled. Anyways that's the
deeper context.

Paul,
Can you provide a repro and command line, please. Also, what
network hardware are you using?

I have a code using MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE along with
MPI-RMA that I'm
using OpenMPI 4.0.1. Since 4.0.1 requires UCX I have it
installed with
MT on (1.6.0 build). The thing is that the code keeps
stalling out when
I go above a couple of nodes. UCX is new to our
environment as
previously we have just used the regular IB Verbs with
no problem. My
guess is that there is either some option in OpenMPI I
am missing or
some variable in UCX I am not setting. Any insight on
what could be
causing the stalls?
