[OMPI devel] [TIPC BTL] test programmes

2011-08-01 Thread Xin He

Hi all,

I have finished the development of TIPC BTL component. It can pass all
sample programs that Open MPI has within the package. Do any of you guys have 
any testing
programs that I should run to test if it really works? Thank you.

Best regards,
Xin

How about a real MPI program which has test data to check
it's running OK ?  Gromacs is open source and has a self-test
mechanism run via "make test" IIRC.

I think HPL (Linpack) also checks the data from its run..

cheers,
Chris

[OMPI devel] cross-platform execution

2011-08-01 Thread Maurice Feskanich

Hi All,

Is there any advice/documentation/FAQs/whatever that talks about 
cross-platform issues?  Say, for instance, my users run mpirun on 
Solaris and they want their jobs to run on Linux.  I'm looking for any 
and all parameters/settings that I need to be aware of, tweak, clear, 
etc. to make sure this works.  Through a bit of trial-and-error, I know 
that I need to pass the right prefix to find the orted, and 
~/.openmpi/mca-params.conf (mca_component_path at least) needs to match 
the platform at both ends.  I'm sure there are many others.


I can't imagine I'm the first one to try this, so any info or pointers 
would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Maury Feskanich


[OMPI devel] 1.5.4rc1 is (finally) posted

2011-08-01 Thread Jeff Squyres
It contains a mountain of bug fixes and some new features.  One last feature 
that isn't in yet is Mellanox's new MTL; we'll pick that up in the next RC 
(because it's very standalone / doesn't affect anything else and I wanted to 
get this RC out the door. Finally).

Additionally, you might want to download an run a bunch of common MPI 
benchmarks, such as:

- Netpipe
- Intel MPI Benchmarks (IMB)
- SKaMPI
- HPL (Linpack)
- ...etc.

 NAS Parallel Benchmarks are self-verifying.

Another option is the MPI Testing Tool 
http://www.open-mpi.org/projects/mtt/ but it might be more trouble than 
it's worth.


(INCIDENTALLY, THERE ARE TRAC TROUBLES WITH THE THREE LINKS AT THE 
BOTTOM OF THAT PAGE!  COULD SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK?)


If you do decide to explore MTT, 
http://www.open-mpi.org/projects/mtt/svn.php tells you how to do a 
Subversion checkout.  It's a test harness.  For the tests themselves, 
look in mtt/trunk/samples/*-template.ini for examples of what tests to 
run.  Whether you want to pursue this route depends on whether you're 
serious about doing lots of testing.

There was a SVN/Trac upgrade at IU last week; it looks like they forgot to 
upgrade the MTT trac instance.  I sent a mail to the admin asking them to fix 
it.  It'll probably be fixed tonight or tomorrow; they're pretty good about 
this kind of thing.
