Yes, there still could be a dependence on a number of processors and using threads. But it's not clear from the stack trace if this is a threaded problem or not (and it is correct that OMPI v1.2's thread support is non-functional).

As for more information that would help diagnose the problem, please see

Thanks.

Shafagh,

I missed the dependence on the number of processors. Apparently there is some thread support.

Doug Reeder,
Daniel is saying that the problem only occurs in openmpi when running more than 16 processes. So could that still be cause becasue openmpi does not support threads??!!

Daniel,

Are you using threads. I don't think the opempi-1.2.x work with threads.

The code does not seem to be the problem, as it runs just fine against mpich. I have tested it against openmpi 1.2.5, 1.2.6, and 1.2.7 and they all exhibit the same problem. Also, the problem only occurs in openmpi when running more than 16 processes. I have posted this stack trace to the list before, but I am submitting it now as a potential bug report. I need some help debugging it and finding out exactly what is going on in openmpi when the segfault occurs. Are there any suggestions on how best to do this? Is there an easy way to attach gdb to one of the processes or something?? I have already compiled openmpi with debugging, memory profiling, etc. How can I best take advantage of these features?
