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.

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 :-)

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?

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 <= rank4

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

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 what I've mentioned, but I
always get some problems.
1) With rankfile like:
rank 0=host01 slot=*
rank 1=host01 slot=*
rank 2=host01 slot=*
rank 3=host01 slot=*
I get:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were unable to successfully process/set the requested processor
affinity settings:
Specified slot list: *
Error: Error
This could mean that a non-existent processor was specified, or
that the specification had improper syntax.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun was unable to start the specified application as it encountered an error:
Error name: Error
Node: host01
when attempting to start process rank 0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[host01:13715] Rank 0: PAFFINITY cannot get physical processor id for
logical processor 4
I think it tries to find processor #4, bug there are only 0-3
2) With rankfile like:
rank 0=host01 slot=*:*
rank 1=host01 slot=*:*
rank 2=host01 slot=*:*
rank 3=host01 slot=*:*
Everything looks well, i.e. my programs are spread across 4 processors.
But when running MPI program as follows:
MPI::Init(argc, argv);
fprintf(stderr, "after init %d\n", MPI::Is_initialized());
nprocs_mpi = MPI::COMM_WORLD.Get_size();
fprintf(stderr, "won't get here\n");
I get:
after init 1

I'm using OPEN MPI v. 1.4.2 (downloaded yesterday).
In my rankfile I really want to write something like slot=*. I know
slot=0-3 would be a solution, but when generating rankfile I may not
be sure how many processors are there available on a particular host.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Grzegorz Maj
