Unfortunately, I could not observe such a VmRSS increase.
Here is the command line used to perform this test:
/opt/openmpi-1.4.2/bin/mpirun -np 256 --hostfile host.list --display-map
--mca mpi_warn_on_fork 0 --mca btl_openib_want_fork_support 0 --mca btl
openib,sm,self --mca btl_openib_receive_queues P,32768,128,96,64 --mca
btl_openib_max_send_size 32768 --mca btl_openib_eager_limit 32768 --mca
btl_openib_rndv_eager_limit 32768 $HOME/info_mp
and the outputs from rank 0 and rank 255 (the root of the 1-byte
MPI_Gather):
[hbn0170: 0/256] Allgather with one byte to process with rank 255 (VmRSS:
1343463424bytes)
[hbn0170: 0/256] Done Allgather with one byte to process with rank 255
(VmRSS: 1343488000bytes)
[hbn0232: 255/256] Allgather with one byte to process with rank 255
(VmRSS: 261124096bytes)
[hbn0232: 255/256] Done Allgather with one byte to process with rank 255
(VmRSS: 288129024bytes)
note that 256*128*(96+64+32768)=1340108800 bytes and it matches the VmRSS
observed on proc 0.

Sorry for the delayed reply.
I'm guessing that there's some kind of rooted collective operation
occurring during MPI_INIT. Try doing a 1 byte MPI_GATHER to another
rank in MCW (e.g., to rank 5) and see if the VmSS goes to the same size
as MCW rank 0.

what i cannot understand is the reason why this extra memory would be
initialized on proc 0 only.
as far as i know, this doesn't make sense.

it varies with the receive_queues specification *and* with the number
of mpi processes: memory_consumed = nb_mpi_process * nb_buffers *
(buffer_size + low_buffer_count_watermark + credit_window_size )

Does it vary exactly according to your receive_queues specification?

hello,
i would like to get your input on this:
when launching a parallel computation on 128 nodes using openib and
the "-mca btl_openib_receive_queues P,65536,256,192,128" option, i
observe a rather large resident memory consumption (2GB:
65336*256*128) on the process with rank 0 (and only this process)
just after a call to MPI_Init.
i'd like to know why the other processes doesn't behave the same:
- other processes located on the same nodes don't use that amount
of memory
- all others processes (i.e. located on any other nodes) neither
i'm using OpenMPI-1.4.2, built with gcc-4.3.4 and
'--enable-cxx-exceptions --with-pic --with-threads=posix' options.
thanks for your help,
