Running on only one server, using the current head of the svn repo. My cluster only has Ethernet, and I let it freely choose the BTLs (so I imagine the candidates are sm,self,tcp,vader). The cmd line is really trivial: mpirun -n 1 ./loop_spawn I modified loop_spawn to only run 100 iterations as I am not patient enough to wait for 1000, and the number of iters isn't a factor so long as it is greater than 1. When the parent calls finalize, I get one of the following emitted for every iteration that was done: dpm_base_disconnect_init: error -12 in isend to process 0 So in other words, the parent is attempting to isend to every child that was spawned during the test - it thinks that every comm_spawn'd process remains connected to it. I'm wondering if the issue is that the parent and child are calling comm_free, but neither side called comm_disconnect. So unless comm_free is calling disconnect under-the-covers, it might explain why the parent thinks all the children are still present. > > i will try to reproduce this myself > > Cheers, > > Gilles > > > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list > de...@open-mpi.org > Subscription: http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/devel > Link to this post: > http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2014/05/14890.php
