Hi Roberto

There is something wrong with this cmd line - perhaps it wasn't copied correctly?

mpirun --verbose --debug-daemons --mca obl -np 1 -wdir `pwd` testmaster 10000 $PBS_NODEFILE

Specifically, the following is incomplete: --mca obl

I'm not sure if this is the problem or not, but I am unaware of such an option and believe it could cause mpirun to become confused.

Hi All on the list,

I'm trying to execute dynamic MPI applications using MPI_Comm_spawn().
The application I'm using for tests, basically is
composed by a master, which spawn a slave in each assigned node in a
multithreading fashion. The master is started with a
number of jobs to perform and a filename, containing the list of
assigned nodes. The idea is to handle all the dispatching
logic within the application, so that the master will try to take as
busy as possible each assigned node. Said that, for each spawned
job, the master allocate a thread for spawning and handling the
communication, than generate a random number, send it to the
slave which simply send it back to the master. Finally the slave
terminate its job and the relative node become free for a new one.
The things will continue until all the requested jobs are done.

The test program I'm using *doesn't* work flawless in mpich2 because it
has a ~24k spawned job limitation, due to a monotonically
increasing of its internal context id which basically stops the
application due to a library internal overflow. The internal context id,
allocated
for each terminated spawned job, are never recycled at moment. The
unique MPI-2 implementation, so supporting MPI_Comm_spawn(),
which was able to complete the test is currently the HP MPI. So now I
would start to check OpenMPI if it's suitable for our dynamic parallel
applications.

The test application is linked against OpenMPI v1.3a1r19645, running of
Fedora8 x86_64 + all updates.

My first attempt end up on the error below which I basically don't know
where to look further. Note that I've already checked PATHs and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the application is basically configured correctly since
it uses two scripts for starting and all the paths are set there.
Basically I need to start *one* master application which will handle all the things for managing slave applications. The communication is *only*
master <-> slave and never collective, at moment.

The test program is available on request.

Does any one have an idea what's going on?

Thanks in advance,
Roberto Fichera.

A daemon (pid unknown) died unexpectedly on signal 1 while attempting to
launch so we are aborting.

There may be more information reported by the environment (see above).

This may be because the daemon was unable to find all the needed shared libraries on the remote node. You may set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have the
location of the shared libraries on the remote nodes and this will
automatically be forwarded to the remote nodes.

Just to say that I made a little progress, now seems that everything
starts, but  mpirun doesn't
find the executable
