[OMPI users] Issue with Profiling Fortran code

2008-12-04 Thread Nick Wright
Hi I am trying to use the PMPI interface with OPENMPI to profile a fortran program. I have tried with 1.28 and 1.3rc1 with --enable-mpi-profile switched on. The problem seems to be that if one eg. intercepts to call to mpi_comm_rank_ (the fortran hook) then calls pmpi_comm_rank_ this then

In general, Open MPI just uses whatever name mangling scheme the compiler uses. Hence, if you compile your app and Open MPI with the same compiler, it should just work. That being said, if your CLM app is supplying its own name mangling scheme flags to the PGI compiler (i.e., shifting it

We have an 8-way, 32-core AMD processor machine (single system image) and are at present running OpenMPI 1.2.8 . Jobs are launched locally on the machine itself. As far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be any way to tell OpenMPI to launch the MPI processes on adjacent cores. Presumably such

I'm using OpenMPI 1.2.5 and PGI 7.1.5 compiler suite to get CLM 3.5 working correctly. When compiling for OpenMPI, I encounter the following snippet of errors - areaMod.o(.text+0x98a0): In function `areamod_map_checkmap_': : undefined reference to `mpi_reduce_' areaMod.o(.text+0x9b6c): In

Re: [OMPI users] Checkpointing fails with BLCR 0.8.0b2

2008-12-04 Thread Josh Hursey
Matthias, Thank you for the heads up. I'll work on a fix that uses the cr_request_checkpoint() interface instead of cr_request_file() when appropriate. I filed a ticket about it if you are interested in tracking the progress on this bug: https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1691

[OMPI users] Checkpointing fails with BLCR 0.8.0b2

2008-12-04 Thread Matthias Hovestadt
Hi! Berkely recently released a new version of their BLCR. They already marked the function cr_request_file as deprecated in BLCR 0.7.3. Now they removed deprecated functions from libcr API. Since checkpointing support of OMPI is using cr_request_file, all checkpointing operations fail with
