[OMPI users] Buffer size limit and memory consumption problem on heterogeneous (32 bit / 64 bit) machines

2010-05-20 Thread Olivier Riff
Hello, I assume this question has been already discussed many times, but I can not find on Internet a solution to my problem. It is about buffer size limit of MPI_Send and MPI_Recv with heterogeneous system (32 bit laptop / 64 bit cluster). My configuration is : open mpi 1.4, configured with: --wi

This probably got fixed in https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/2386 Can you try 1.4.2, the fix should be in there. Regards --Nysal On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 2:02 PM, Olivier Riff wrote: > Hello, > > I assume this question has been already discussed many times, but I can not > find on Intern

I have done the test with v1.4.2 and indeed it fixes the problem. Thanks Nysal. Thank you also Terry for your help. With the fix I do not need anymore to use a huge value of btl_tcp_eager_limit (I keep the default value) which considerably decreases the memory consumption I had before. Everything w
