Hi everyone

I use OpenMPI on single a multi-cores computer to benefit of parralel computing 
with bioinformatics tools like: tree-ppuzzle ... (computation tools using MPI 
standard).

Workstation's caracteristics:
AMD, 64-bits, 2 processors, 4 cores by processors, Ubuntu 64 bits
AMD-V hardware virtualization technology is activated

The command "mpirun -np 8 tree-ppuzzle data_file" works perfectly and produces 
the expected results.


I would like to be able to do the same things on VirtualBox VMs. To produce 
some tests, i created an Ubuntu (11.04) 64 bits VM with Virtualbox, i installed 
OpenMPI 1.4.3 and tree-ppuzzle 5.2.

When i run the same command: "mpirun -np 8 tree-ppuzzle data_file", it crashes 
after few seconds. The error message is:

mpirun noticed that process rank 7 with PID 1542 on node philippe-VirtualBox 
exited on signal 11 (Segmentation fault).


If i disable AMD-V virtualization, all works perfectly.

I join the data_file to this email.

can you help me ?


Thanks by advance
