FWIW: we see varying reports about the scalability of Slurm, especially at large cluster sizes. Last I saw/tested, there is a quadratic term that begins to dominate above 2k nodes. Others swear it is better . Guess I'd be cautious and definitely test things before investing in a move - I'm not

Hi Chris, I'm interested in SLURM / OpenMPI startup numbers, but I haven't done this testing myself. We're stuck with an older version of SLURM for various internal reasons, and I'm wondering whether it's worth the effort to back port the PMI2 support. Can you share some of the differences in

[OMPI devel] RFC: Force Slurm to use PMI-1 unless PMI-2 is specifically requested

2014-05-06 Thread Ralph Castain
We have been seeing a lot of problems with the Slurm PMI-2 support (not in OMPI - it's the code in Slurm that is having problems). At this time, I'm unaware of any advantage in using PMI-2 over PMI-1 in Slurm - the scaling is equally poor, and PMI-2 does not supports any additional functionality

Any update on this? Can it be used in the RMA part? George. On Wed, Apr 23, 2014 at 1:58 AM, Gilles Gouaillardet wrote: > my bad :-( > > this has just been fixed > > Gilles > > On 2014/04/23 14:55, Nathan Hjelm wrote: >> The ompi_datatype_flatten.c file appears to be missing. Let me know once

I went over the provided trace file and I tried to force the BTLs to handle extremely weird (and uncomfortable) lengths, on both Mac OS X and Linux 64b. Despite all my efforts I was unable to reproduce this error. So I'm giving up until more information become available. George. On Thu, Apr 17
