Re: [OMPI users] openmpi credits for eager messages

That would make sense. I able to break OpenMPI by having Node A wait for messages from Node B. Node B is in fact sleeping while Node C bombards Node A with a few thousand messages. After a while Node B wakes up and sends Node A the message it's been waiting on, but Node A has long since been buried

Re: [OMPI users] openmpi credits for eager messages

2008-02-01 Thread George Bosilca
The Voltaire tech was right. There is no credit management at the upper level, each BTL is allowed to do it (if needed). This doesn't means the transport is not reliable. Most of the devices have internal flow control, and Open MPI rely on it instead of implementing our own. However, the de

[OMPI users] openmpi credits for eager messages

2008-02-01 Thread Sacerdoti, Federico
Hi, I am readying an openmpi 1.2.5 software stack for use with a many-thousand core cluster. I have a question about sending small messages that I hope can be answered on this list. I was under the impression that if node A wants to send a small MPI message to node B, it must have a credit to do

[OMPI users] Dynamically changing machine file data

2008-02-01 Thread Keith Hellman
I'm working on a rather eccentric application of openmpi. Is there any way to dynamically change the information obtained from the machine or hosts file provided on the command line to mpirun? Perhaps something like: MPI_Reread_Hosts( const char* hfilepath ); Many thanks in advance, -- Keith

Re: [OMPI users] MPI piggyback mechanism

2008-02-01 Thread Aurélien Bouteiller
I don't know of any work in that direction for now. Indeed, we plan to eventually integrate at least causal message logging in the pml-v, which also includes piggybacking. Therefore we are open for collaboration with you on this matter. Please let us know :) Aurelien Le 1 févr. 08 à 09:5

Re: [OMPI users] MPI piggyback mechanism

2008-02-01 Thread Thomas Ropars
Hi, I'm currently working on optimistic message logging and I would like to implement an optimistic message logging protocol in OpenMPI. Optimistic message logging protocols piggyback information about dependencies between processes on the application messages to be able to find a consistent

Re: [OMPI users] Help: Trouble building OpenMPI v1.2.4 with PGI v7.0-6

2008-02-01 Thread Jeff Squyres
I can replicate the problem even with 7.0-7. Unfortunately, we're using a standard GNU Autoconf test in OMPI's configure to get the size: AC_CHECK_SIZE(bool) I'm not quite sure why it doesn't work with the PGI 7.0 compiler series and those particular options. :-\ On Jan 31, 2008, at 7
