Hi,

Besides all these advices have been given, you may need to use --prefix in configure script to override default installation directory since you don't have root account. Also you might want to look at MVAPICH as an alternative, an variant of MPICH2 that supports infiniband.

good luck,

Dear all,

I want to use infiniband, I am from a University in the US, my
University’s high performance center don’t have Gcc compiled openmpi
that support infiniband, so I want to compile myself.

But I have a few questions,

1.Is it ok to compile openmpi myself with infiniband support, if I don’t
have the root privilege? Is it going to work?

2.If it is ok, how can I find out where is the infiniband installation
directory, any shell command to show it?

3.Which configuration is correct? For example, using
“--with-openib=/usr/include/infiniband” as told in openmpi FAQ, or I
need to use "--with-openib=/usr/include/infiniband
--with-openib-libdir=/usr/lib64" both?


Thanks so much.
