[OMPI users] OpenMPI 1.7rc5 fails to build with CUDA support when CUDA is in a non-standard location

2012-11-02 Thread Adam DeConinck
Hey all, Not sure that this is the right location to send this report to, might be more appropriate for the dev list. Let me know if so. The pre-release OpenMPI 1.7rc5 does not built correctly if you attempt to compile it with a non-standard CUDA location. The culprit is in ompi/contrib/vt/vt/vtl

Re: [OMPI users] make check fails with OpenMPI 1.6.3 and Intel Compilers

FWIW, we have seen bugs in the intel compiler suite before. We usually advise people to get the latest version of the particular intel compiler suite version that they have a license to obtain. I don't know if that is the exact cause of the issue here, but it's definitely something we've seen

[OMPI users] patch: enabling shmem-sysv on cygwin

More as a note for other cygwin users than a general patch, but it should work in any case. The attached patch allow to enable shmem_sysv. as SHM_R | SHM_W are not defined on cygwin (and on posix) [1] Additional advise :on cygwin the SYSV shared memory requires the cygserver service running, o

Very cool. Please let us know when you publish the package and give us a link to it - would be nice to include that on our web page so Windows users have a migration path now that native support is no longer available. On Nov 1, 2012, at 12:08 PM, marco atzeri wrote: > On 11/1/2012 7:55 PM, R

Try configuring --without-psm That should solve the problem. We are probably picking up that you have PSM libraries on the machine, but it looks like you aren't actually running it. And yes - it should gracefully disable itself. You might check the 1.6 series to see if it behaves better - if n

I am getting a problem where something called "PSM" is failing to start and that in turn is preventing my job from running. Command and output are below. I would like to understand what's going on. Apparently this version of OpenMPI decided to build itself with support for PSM, but if it's no

What's the memory usage on your nodes -- are you invoking swap, perchance? Can you try one of the other shared memory mechanisms (sysv or posix)? (I just described how in my previous email) On Nov 1, 2012, at 11:24 AM, Hodge, Gary C wrote: > George, > > We move 40K and 160K size messages fro

Re: [OMPI users] openmpi shared memory feature

2012-11-02 Thread Jeff Squyres
I don't know how to explain this any more than I have: Open MPI only uses those files for an initial shared memory rendezvous point (and they're not really "files", either). After that, all communication is done through shared memory. Open MPI 1.6.x actually offers using multiple different type
