I was getting the same error a few weeks ago. In my case the error message was spot on. I was trying to put too much data in a buffer using MPI_Pack.
I was able to track down the problem using valgrind. Have you tried that yet? You need to install valgrind first and then compile OpenMPI with valgrind support. It takes some time, but is worth it. http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=debugging#memchecker_what Amr Hassan wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm facing a strange problem with OpenMPI. > > I'm developing an application which is required to send a message from > each client (1 MB each) to a server node for around 10 times per second > (it's a distributed render application and I'm trying to reach a higher > frame rate ).
