It looks like your output somehow doesn't include the actual error message. That error message was sent to stderr, so you may not have captured it if you only did "mpirun ... > foo.txt". The actual error message template is this: ----- %s: A high-performance Open MPI point-to-point messaging module was unable to find any relevant network interfaces: Module: %s Host: %s Another transport will be used instead, although this may result in lower performance. NOTE: You can disable this warning by setting the MCA parameter btl_base_warn_component_unused to 0. ----- This is not actually an error -- just a warning. It typically means that your Open MPI has support for HPC-class networking, Open MPI saw some evidence of HPC-class networking on the nodes on which your job ran, but ultimately didn't use any of those HPC-class networking interfaces for some reason and therefore fell back to TCP. I.e., your program ran correctly, but it may have run slower than it could have if it were able to use HPC-class networks. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com
