Sorry, there was a miscommunications between Ethan and I. The "*" nomenclature never worked in OMPI, it is the specification of "n:*" that works and we believe still works. --td Terry Dontje wrote: It looks like the rankfile "*" syntax was broke between version r22761 and r23214. So, it look

It looks like the rankfile "*" syntax was broke between version r22761 and r23214. So, it looks like a regression to me. Ethan is looking into trying to narrow this down more. --td Ralph Castain wrote: I would have to look at the code, but I suspect it doesn't handle "*". Could be upgraded

I would have to look at the code, but I suspect it doesn't handle "*". Could be upgraded to do so, but that would depend on the relevant developer to do so :-) On Jun 9, 2010, at 10:16 AM, Grzegorz Maj wrote: > Thanks a lot, it works fine for me. > But going back to my problems - is it some bug

Thanks a lot, it works fine for me. But going back to my problems - is it some bug in open-mpi or I should use "slot=*" option in some other way? 2010/6/9 Ralph Castain : > I would recommend using the sequential mapper instead: > > mpirun -mca rmaps seq > > You can then just list your hosts in you

I would recommend using the sequential mapper instead: mpirun -mca rmaps seq You can then just list your hosts in your hostfile, and we will put the ranks sequentially on those hosts. So you get something like this host01 <= rank0 host01 <= rank1 host02 <= rank2 host03 <= rank3 host01 <= r

In my previous mail I said that slot=0-3 would be a solution. Unfortunately it gives me exactly the same segfault as in case with *:* 2010/6/9 Grzegorz Maj : > Hi, > I'd like mpirun to run tasks with specific ranks on specific hosts, > but I don't want to provide any particular sockets/slots/cores

[OMPI users] Specifying slots in rankfile

2010-06-09 Thread Grzegorz Maj
Hi, I'd like mpirun to run tasks with specific ranks on specific hosts, but I don't want to provide any particular sockets/slots/cores. The following example uses just one host, but generally I'll use more. In my hostfile I just have: root@host01 slots=4 I was playing with my rankfile to achieve
