That is correct. We could fairly easily modify it to cleanup leftover files 
from a single mpirun without affecting others. Unfortunately, there really 
isn't any easy way to tell what processes belong to a specific mpirun, so 
selectively killing zombies would be very hard to do

It was created during the early years of our work when zombies were frequently 
occurring. The need for it has declined over the years, but we keep it around 
because we do still hit problems on occasion - especially during development.

Re: [OMPI users] ompi-clean on single executable

2012-10-26 Thread Nicolas Deladerriere
Thanks all for your comments

Ralph

What I was initially looking at is a tool (or option of orte-clean) that
clean up the mess you are talking about, but only the mess that have been
created by a single mpirun command. As far I have understood, orte-clean
clean all mess on a node associated to all open-mpi process that have run
(or are currently running).

According to Rolph comment, usually, mpirun command does not leave any
zombie processes, Hence it seems that the effect of orte-clean is limited.
But, since it exists, I was wondering that it is doing usefull stuff ?

Cheers,
Nicolas

Re: [OMPI users] ompi-clean on single executable

2012-10-25 Thread Ralph Castain
Okay, now I'm confused. If all you want to do is cleanly "kill" a running OMPI 
job, then why not just issue

$ kill SIGTERM 

This will cause mpirun to order the clean termination of all remote procs 
within that execution, and then cleanly terminate itself. No tool we create 
could do it any better.

Is there an issue with doing so?

orte-clean was intended to cleanup the mess if/when the above method doesn't 
work - i.e., when you have to "kill SIGKILL mpirun", which forcibly kills 
mpirun but might leave zombie orteds on the remote nodes.

Or perhaps cloned, renamed to orte-kill, and modified to kill a single (or 
multiple) specific job(s).  That would be POSIX-like ("kill" vs. "clean").

Re: [OMPI users] ompi-clean on single executable

2012-10-24 Thread Rolf vandeVaart
And just to give a little context, ompi-clean was created initially to "clean" 
up a node, not for cleaning up a specific job.  It was for the case where MPI 
jobs would leave some files behind or leave some processes running.  (I do not 
believe this happens much at all anymore.)  But, as was said, no reason it 
could not be modified.

 Thanks for your comments,
 
 In our case, we are currently running different mpirun commands on
 clusters sharing the same frontend. Basically we use a wrapper to run
 the mpirun command and to run an ompi-clean command to clean up the
 mpi job if required.
 Using ompi-clean like this just kills all other mpi jobs running on
 same frontend. I cannot use queuing system

 How many jobs are you starting on how many nodes at one time? This
 requirement could be a point to start to use a queuing system, where can
 remove job individually and also serialize your workflow. In fact: we
 use
 GridEngine also local on workstations for this purpose.

Re: [OMPI users] ompi-clean on single executable

2012-10-24 Thread Nicolas Deladerriere
Reuti,

The problem I am facing is a small small part of our production
system, and I cannot modify our mpirun submission system. This is why
i am looking at solution using only ompi-clean of mpirun command
specification.

Thanks,
Nicolas

 I am having issue running ompi-clean which clean up (this is normal)
 session associated to a user which means it kills all running jobs
 assoicated to this session (this is also normal). But I would like to
 be
 able to clean up session associated to a job (a not user).

 Here is my point:

 I am running two executable :

 % mpirun -np 2 myexec1
   --> run with PID 2399 ...
 % mpirun -np 2 myexec2
   --> run with PID 2402 ...

 When I run orte-clean I got this result :
 % orte-clean -v
 orte-clean: cleaning session dir tree
 openmpi-sessions-ndelader@myhost_0
 orte-clean: killing any lingering procs
 orte-clean: found potential rogue orterun process
 (pid=2399,user=ndelader), sending SIGKILL...
 orte-clean: found potential rogue orterun process
 (pid=2402,user=ndelader), sending SIGKILL...

 Which means that both jobs have been killed :-(
 Basically I would like to perform orte-clean using executable name or
 PID
 or whatever that identify which job I want to stop an clean. It seems I
 would need to create an openmpi session per job. Does it make sense ?
 And
 I would like to be able to do something like following command and get
 following result :

  % orte-clean -v myexec1
 orte-clean: cleaning session dir tree
 openmpi-sessions-ndelader@myhost_0
 orte-clean: killing any lingering procs
 orte-clean: found potential rogue orterun process
 (pid=2399,user=ndelader), sending SIGKILL...


 Does it make sense ? Is there a way to perform this kind of selection
 in
 cleaning process ?

Why? Using it on a single machine was only one possible setup. Its purpose is 
to distribute jobs to slave hosts. If you have already one frontend as 
login-machine it fits perfect: the qmaster (in case of SGE) can run there and 
the execd on the nodes.

Re: [OMPI users] ompi-clean on single executable

2012-10-24 Thread Nicolas Deladerriere
Reuti,

Thanks for your comments,

In our case, we are currently running different mpirun commands on
clusters sharing the same frontend. Basically we use a wrapper to run
the mpirun command and to run an ompi-clean command to clean up the
mpi job if required.
Using ompi-clean like this just kills all other mpi jobs running on
same frontend. I cannot use queuing system as you have suggested this
is why I was wondering a option or other solution associated to
ompi-clean command to avoid this general mpi jobs cleaning.

Cheers
Nicolas
