Hi,
I am a long time happy user of mpi_comm_spawn() routine. But so far I
used it only with the MPI_COMM_WORLD communicator. Now I want to
execute more mpi_comm_spawn() routines, by creating and using group
communicators. However this seems to have some problems. I can get it
to run about 50% times on my laptop, but on some more "speedy"
machines it just produces the following message:
$ mpirun -n 4 a.out
[ala:31406] [[45304,0],0] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: Not found in file
base/plm_base_launch_support.c at line 758
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun was unable to start the specified application as it encountered an error.
More information may be available above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am attaching the 2 programs needed to test the behavior. Compile:
$ mpif90 -o sps sps.f08 # spawned program
$ mpif90 mspbug.f08 # program with problems
$ mpirun -n 4 a.out
The compiler is gfortran-4.4.4, and openmpi is 1.4.2.
Needless to say it runs with mpich2, but mpich2 doesn't know how to
deal with stdin on a spawned process, so it's useless for my project :-(
Any ideas?
