Dear OpenMPI developers, One of our users was running a benchmark on a 1032 core simulation. He had a successful run at 900 cores but when he stepped up to 1032 cores the job just stalled and his logs contained many occurrences of the following line:
[d6copt368.crc.nd.edu][[25621,1],0][btl_tcp_component.c:885:mca_btl_tcp_component_accept_handler] accept() failed: Too many open files (24) The simulation has a single master task that communicates with all the other tasks to write out some I/O via the master. We are assuming the message is related to this bottleneck. Is there a 1024 limit on the number of open files/connections for instance? Can anyone confirm the meaning of this error and secondly provide a resolution that hopefully doesn't involve a code rewrite. Thanks in advance, Tim. Tim Stitt PhD (User Support Manager).
