George Thanks for the explanation. I am trying to understand the following line in your mail: "In fact, any fork done prior to the communication is a non-issue, but it is difficult to identify. Therefore, we output the warning as soon as we detect a fork after MPI_Init." Does it mean that if I h

Jeff I am invoking MPI_Init_thread() with MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE. If openib BTL is responsible for the warning and openib BTL is excluded in this case, then that explains the discrepancy. FYI, I invoked MPI_Init_thread() with MPI_THREAD_SERIALIZED and I got the warning message about the fork(). Tha

Hi I am running into a very wierd problem. If I initialize MPI normally ie; with MPI_Init(), and make one of the MPI process to do "popen()" call, I get the following warning/error message: == Message start === An MPI process has executed an operation involving a call to the "fork()" system cal

Jeff Yes, I am calling MPI_Init_thread() with MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE. And I have enabled thread and mpi_threads while configuring OpenMPI. BTW, I am using OpenMPI 1.4.2. It will be helpful to know if this is a design constraint or some implementation defect. Regards Ananda Ananda B Mudar,

Hi I have the following small program where the rank-0 process does sleep and then all the processes perform barrier(). #include "mpi.h" #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int rank, nprocs; MPI_Init(&argc,&argv); MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD,&nprocs); MPI_Com

Hello Samuel Like I said in my earlier response, I have never tried this option. So I ran these tests on 1.4.2 now and apparently the behavior is same ie; the checkpoint creation time increases when I enable shared memory componentL Is there any parameter that can be tuned to improve the performa

Hello Samuel This problem seems to be resolved after I moved to r23781. However, I see another discrepancy in checkpoint image creation time when I disable shared memory (--mca btl self,tcp,openib) vs using it. I mean the time to create checkpoint image for this simple program is about 0.4 seconds

Hi In the file "mca_base_components_open.c", following code checks for the components that are checkpointable. If I configure OpenMPI library with "-enable-cr" option, I was under the assumption that all components will be checkpointable. However I see that quite a few components are not checkpoin
