Re: [OMPI users] MPI::Intracomm::Spawn and cluster configuration

Hi. I know this is an old thread, but I'm curious if there are any tutorials describing how to set this up? Is this still available on newer open mpi versions? Thanks, Brian On Fri, Jan 4, 2008 at 7:57 AM, Ralph Castain wrote: > Hi Elena > > I'm copying this to the user list just to correct

[OMPI users] application with mxm hangs on startup

2012-08-21 Thread Pavel Mezentsev
Hello! I've built openmpi 1.6.1rc3 with support of MXM. But when I try to launch an application using this mtl it hangs and can't figure out why. If I launch it with np below 128 then everything works fine since mxm isn't used. I've tried setting the threshold to 0 and launching 2 processes with

Hello, Intel MPI Benchmarks suite (http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mpi-benchmarks/) will probably measure more things about your MPI environment than you'd ever need to know :) NetPIPE (http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/netpipe/) also has an MPI version. It measures point-to-point band

That's fine. In that case, you just compile it with your MPI implementation and do something like this: mpiexec -np 2 -H masterhostname,slavehostname ./osu_latency There may be some all-to-all latency tools too. I don't really remember. Lloyd Brown Systems Administrator Fulton Supercomputing L

I'm not really familiar enough to know what you mean by "em slaves", but for general testing of bandwidth and latency, I usually use the "OSU Micro-benchmarks" (see http://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu/benchmarks/). Lloyd Brown Systems Administrator Fulton Supercomputing Lab Brigham Young University

Hello. How do you suggest me to measure the latency between master em slaves in my cluster? Is there any tool that I can use to test the performance of my environment? Thanks -- Maginot Júnior

Have you looked thru the code in orte/mca/plm/rsh/plm_rsh_module.c? It is executing a tree-like spawn pattern by default, but there isn't anything magic about what ssh is doing. However, there are things done to prep the remote shell (setting paths etc.), and the tree spawn passes some additiona

Hello, Devendra, Sending and receiving messages in MPI are atomic operations - they complete only when the whole message was sent or received. MPI_Test only tells you if the operation has completed - there is no indication like "30% of the message was sent/received, stay tuned for more". On th

Hi Devendra MPI has no way of knowing how big your receive buffer is - that's why you have to pass the "count" argument, to tell MPI how many items of your data type (in your case many bytes) it may copy to your receive buffer. When data arrives that is longer than the number you specified in the

Hello Jeff and Hristo, Now I am completely confused: So, let's say, the complete reception requires 8192 bytes. And, I have: MPI_Irecv(     (void*)this->receivebuffer,/* the receive buffer */     this->receive_packetsize,  /* 80 */
