Re: [OMPI users] Getting MPI to access processes on a 2nd computer.

[VimalMathew]

Hi Shiqing,

 

We went through the steps mentioned in the links to modify DCOM and COM
settings.

wmic /node:remote_node_ip process call create notepad.exe is able to
create a notepad process remotely, but I'm getting the same error
message as before using mpirun -np 2 -host host1 host2 notepad.exe.

 

I'm running this on two Windows 7 machines both of which I have admin
rights on.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Vimal

Hi,

The Open MPI potentially uses WMI to launch remote processes, so the WMI
has to be configured correctly. There are two links talking about how to
set it up in README.WINDOWS file:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa393266(VS.85).aspx
 
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/578

For testing whether it works or not, you can use following command:
wmic /node:remote_node_ip process call create notepad.exe

then log onto the other Windows, check in the task manager if the
notepad.exe process is created (don't forget to delete it afterwards). 

If that works, this command will also work:
mpirun -np 2 -host host1 host2 notepad.exe

Please try to run the above two test commands, if they all works you
application should also work. Just let me know if you have any question
or trouble with that.

Re: [OMPI users] Using OpenMPI on a network

[VimalMathew]

Just finished doing that.

Still getting the same error. How do I make sure there are no old
builds/files left?

I uninstalled everything to do with MPI, Cygwin, cleared environment
variables, did the whole Windows build again and then did the
supercomputing tutorial.

There's something else wrong, if that's the Supercomputing Blog tutorial
1 you're running.  It works happily without a hostfile.  I think you
have some borked paths there.

I don't know why a Windows version is looking for an etc directory for a
hostfile, unless there's some of your previous Cygwin builds lying
around.  The etc directory is *Nix thing.  Please make sure you've
completely deleted all your old failed OpenMPI builds, code, binaries,
everything.  Uninstall any other MPI versions you have tried, OpenMPI,
MPICH, whatever.  You need to make absolutely sure you only have one
version.  Check your paths in your environment after doing all that and
remove any remaining path references to other MPI versions.  You
shouldn't be getting that network error either, if you're running
locally it won't matter if you have a network cable or not.  That has to
be fixed before you can do anything on a cluster.

OK, that's what orte_rml_base_select failed means, no TCP
connection.  But you should be able to make OpenMPI & mpiexec work
without a network if you're just running in local memory.  There's
probably a runtime parameter to set but I don't know what it is.  Maybe
Jeff or Shiqing can weigh in with what that is.

It should output "Number of threads = 1, My rank = 0"

You're getting that error because you failed to specify any hosts on
your cmd line - so OMPI has no idea where to launch the procs. It looked
for a default hostfile, but didn't find that either.

 

Just add a -host  option to your command line and tell it
where you want the procs to run.

Hmmm.  Two things.  Can you run helloworldMPI.exe on it's own?  It
should output "Number of threads = 1, My rank = 0"

Also, can you post the output of ompi_info ?  I think you might still
have some path mixups.  A successful OpenMPI build with this simple
program should just work.

If you still have the other OpenMPIs installed from the binaries, you
might want to try uninstalling all of them and rebooting.  Also if you
rebuilt OpenMPI and helloworldMPI with VS 2010, make sure that
helloworldMPI is actually linked to those VS2010 OpenMPI libs by setting
the right lib path in the Linker options.  Linking to VS2008 libs and
trying to run with VS2010 dlls/exes could cause problems too.

Ah.  You installed the OpenMPI binaries too right?  Those are built with
VS2010.  I bet the way your paths are set up it's using the installed
version of mpiexec that wants VS2010 runtimes, not the mpiexec you

OK, here's a quick fix you can try so you don't have to mess with paths.
Go into the installed\bin directory from your OpenMPI version, select
everything, and copy it to the directory where your new project puts its
executables (probably the Debug directory).  Then run your mpiexec 
from within that Debug directory and it will use all your OpenMPI exes

without #include  causes all kinds of random runtime problems,
and printf in a C++ program is generally not awesome.

Is your long-term goal a C++ project?  If you want C++, rename your
main.c to main.cpp and update your project.  And change 

printf ("Number of threads = %d, My rank = %d\n", nTasks, rank);

to

std::cout << "Number of threads = " << nTasks << ", My rank = " << rank
<< "\n";

Ah.  You installed the OpenMPI binaries too right?  Those are built with
VS2010.  I bet the way your paths are set up it's using the installed
version of mpiexec that wants VS2010 runtimes, not the mpiexec you
compiled today that will use the VS2008 runtimes that you have.

OK, here's a quick fix you can try so you don't have to mess with paths.
Go into the installed\bin directory from your OpenMPI version, select
everything, and copy it to the directory where your new project puts its
executables (probably the Debug directory).  Then run your mpiexec 
from within that Debug directory and it will use all your OpenMPI exes
and dlls because it will look there first.

Change the text (type it in) to say Release if you want a Release build, 
otherwise the final install step won't work.

Also, further down the red window there's some options you should change.  
Scroll down through that window, there's a lot to choose from.  I usually check 
OMPI_RELEASE_BUILD, OMPI_WANT_F77_BINDINGS and OMPI_WANT_F90_BINDINGS.  
OMPI_WANT_CXX_BINDINGS should already be checked.  (Note to Jeff & Shiqing: We

Also, further down the red window there's some options you should
change.  Scroll down through that window, there's a lot to choose from.
I usually check OMPI_RELEASE_BUILD, OMPI_WANT_F77_BINDINGS and

The only difference is that whereever this tutorial says "HPC Pack 2008
SDK directory" you should go to "c:\ompi\openmpi-1.6\installed" and use
the include, lib and bin directories from there.

This will give you a simple VS project that you can use to start

Right-click on the INSTALL sub-project and click Build.  That will
organise the header files, libraries and binaries into a set of
directories, under whatever directory you said your source is in with
CMake.  On mine it was C:\projects6\openmpi-1.6\installed.  In there
you'll see bin, include, lib and share directories.  That's a complete
OpenMPI build with everything you need.

If you'd like to try this and provide feedback, we can tweak the
instructions until they're bulletproof.  I can help you build with
whatever compilers you have on your system, just post back to the list.
I don't do Cygwin though.  Doing HPC on Windows is weird enough.

Looks pretty simple to me. You download the .exe installer for either 32

contains everything you need to just run.

I'm not a Windozer, so I can't speak to the port for that platform. However, 
the conversation here seems strange to me. Have you actually read the 
instructions on the open-mpi.org web site?

 

Looks pretty simple to me. You download the .exe installer for either 32 or 64 
bits, and run it. You don't build OMPI from source - the distro contains 
everything you need to just run.

for the software and some Windows notes.

My suggestion which I feel would be easier, and less headache way would be to

You would only need to compile it in CygWin just like the Linux/Unix docs say

I find the easiest way to know if LIB and DLL function correctly, and avoiding  
confusion on correct setup is it just drop them all in the root directory of 
your project. VS should see them upon load of that project.

Once you've run the installer, you'll have a set of OpenMPI debug and release 
dlls, libraries to link to and the necessary include files.  If you're 
installing the 64-bit version, it will end up here by default:

Hi Vimal,

The output looks strange. If you use the installer under Cygwin, mpicc 
shouldn't try to link with liblammpio.* or any library in /usr/local/lib. So I 
guess the mpicc is messed up with some previously installed MPI 
implementations. Could you please verify that 'which mpicc' is the one you 
installed?

Anyway, here I sent some screen shots that how it should look like under Cygwin.

1 - run command 'mpicc chello.c'

2 - run command 'mpicc chello.c -o chello'

copy the following:   

datatype_pack.c   to datatype_pack_checksum.c 

datatype_unpack.c to datatype_unpack_checksum.c

I do not see these files in the mentioned path.

 

Step 4: Open the Open MPI project (.sln file) from the root directory of the

I don't have a .sln file anywhere

 

Help anyone? Shiqing?

I ran ./configure and make all install.

At the end of the make I saw a bunch of errors for the makefiles. I've attached

Hi Vimal,

I'm not sure how you can uninstall  the other one, may be 'make uninstall' from 
the source? Or you may also ask in their mailing list.

Another solution might use the full path for the executables, like "c:\Program 
Files\OpenMPI_v1.6-win32\bin\mpicc hello.c" or under Cygwin: 
"/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/OpenMPI_v1.6-win32/bin/mpicc.exe hello.c".

Of course, I suggest to get rid of the other MPI implementation.

Hi Vimal,

The output looks strange. If you use the installer under Cygwin, mpicc 
shouldn't try to link with liblammpio.* or any library in /usr/local/lib. So I 
guess the mpicc is messed up with some previously installed MPI 
implementations. Could you please verify that 'which mpicc' is the one you 
installed?

Anyway, here I sent some screen shots that how it should look like under Cygwin.

1 - run command 'mpicc chello.c'

[OMPI users] Building MPI on Windows

[VimalMathew]

Hi, 

 

I’m trying to follow the ReadMe file to build OpenMPI on Windows:

 

Step 1: Untar the contrib/platform/win32/ompi-static.tgz tarball in the root 
directory of the Open MPI distribution.

I do not have ompi-static.tgz in the mentioned path.

 

Step 2: Go in the ompi/datatype subdirectory in the Open MPI distribution and 
copy the following:   

datatype_pack.c   to datatype_pack_checksum.c 

datatype_unpack.c to datatype_unpack_checksum.c

I do not see these files in the mentioned path.

 

Step 4: Open the Open MPI project (.sln file) from the root directory of the 
distribution.

I don’t have a .sln file anywhere

 

Help anyone? Shiqing?

I hadn't seen the ReadMe file.
Tried following the steps in it, stuck here:
1.  Downloaded the binary distribution of CMake-2.8.8.
2.  Asks for source path and build path of Open MPI.
a. Is the source path where Open MPI was installed? (C:\Program
Files (x86)\OpenMPI_v1.6-x64)?
b. What should the build path be?

Also Jeff, your last two replies haven't come to my inbox for some
reason so I'm unable to reply to them directly. I can only see them on
the archives site.

Thanks,
Vimal

mpi.h shoud be located under /include/
