Ralph and Gus, 1. Thank you for your suggestion. I built Open MPI 1.6.5 with the following command: ./configure --prefix=/work4/projects/openmpi/openmpi-1.6.5-gcc-compilers-4.7.3 --with-tm=/opt/pbs/default --with-openib= --with-openib-libdir=/usr/lib64
In my job script, I need to specify the IB subnet like this: TCP="--mca btl_tcp_if_include 10.148.0.0/16" mpirun $TCP -np 64 -hostfile $PBS_NODEFILE ./paraEllip3d input.txt Then my job can get initialized and run correctly each time! 2. However, to build Open MPI 1.7.4 with another command (in order to test/compare shared-memory performance of Open MPI): ./configure --prefix=/work4/projects/openmpi/openmpi-1.7.4-gcc-compilers-4.7.3 --with-tm=/opt/pbs/default --with-verbs= --with-verbs-libdir=/usr/lib64 It gets error as follows: ============================================================================ == Modular Component Architecture (MCA) setup ============================================================================ checking for subdir args... '--prefix=/work4/projects/openmpi/openmpi-1.7.4-gcc-compilers-4.7.3' '--with-tm=/opt/pbs/default' '--with-verbs=' '--with-verbs-libdir=/usr/lib64' 'CC=gcc' 'CXX=g++' checking --with-verbs value... simple ok (unspecified) checking --with-verbs-libdir value... sanity check ok (/usr/lib64) configure: WARNING: Could not find verbs.h in the usual locations under configure: error: Cannot continue Our system is Red Hat 6.4. Do we need to install more packages of Infiniband? Can you please advise? Thanks, Beichuan Yan -----Original Message----- From: users [mailto:users-boun...@open-mpi.org] On Behalf Of Gus Correa Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 15:59 To: Open MPI Users Subject: Re: [OMPI users] OpenMPI job initializing problem HI Beichuan To add to what Ralph said, the RHEL OpenMPI package probably wasn't built with with PBS Pro support either. Besides, OMPI 1.5.4 (RHEL version) is old. ** You will save yourself time and grief if you read the installation FAQs, before you install from the source tarball: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building However, as Ralph said, that is your best bet, and it is quite easy to get right. See this FAQ on how to build with PBS Pro support: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#build-rte-tm And this one on how to build with Infiniband support: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#build-p2p Here is how to select the installation directory (--prefix): http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#easy-build Here is how to select the compilers (gcc,g++, and gfortran are fine): http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=building#build-compilers I hope this helps, Gus Correa On 02/28/2014 12:36 PM, Ralph Castain wrote: > Almost certainly, the redhat package wasn't built with matching > infiniband support and so we aren't picking it up.
