Hi,
I am having some problems getting mpiblast to run correctly, I have
verified that blastall works against the input files, however when I try
to run mpiblast with them it behaves as follows:


ok ...

I run the following command: /opt/mpi/bin/mpirun -machinefile
machines -np 34 -nolocal
/usr/local/mpiblast-1.4/bin/mpiblast
--config-file=/users01/jlowey/mpiblast/mpiblast.conf --debug -p blastn
-d other_genomic -i /users01/jlowey/mpiblast/len100_320000.fa -o
mpioutput_32.txt


Could you use a "-v" on the mpirun command line as well? Might help to see some of the messages from mpi.

I starts running, and in debug mode it copies the fragments to the
worker nodes, then the only process doing any work is on the fist node
in the list, it runs for several hours then dies. Nothing is in the
output file.

Does it stop working after a particular size? That is, if you divide your input file in half, does it work? By a 1/10?

While it is running for several hours, are you sure the other nodes are not doing anything? Have you run top on them? On the node with the process running, what do top and vmstat 1 report for memory usage?

You might try running without the -nolocal switch (just don't start the job on the head node).


Here is a snippet of the input file being used:

mpiblast works fine using another input file, I have verified this. Any ideas 
what is going on??
Thanks,
James
