Hi Giles et.al.,
You are right, ptl.c is in PSM2 code. As Ralph mentions, dynamic process
support was/is not working in OMPI when using PSM2 because of an issue related
to the transport keys. This was fixed in PR #1602
(https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/1602) and should be included in v2.0.2.
HOWEVER, this not the error Juraj is seeing. The root of the assertion is
because the PSM/PSM2 MTLs will check for where the “original” process are
running and, if detects all are local to the node, it will ONLY initialize the
shared memory device (variable PSM2_DEVICES="self,shm” ). This is to avoid
“reserving” HW resources in the HFI card that wouldn’t be used unless you later
on spawn ranks in other nodes. Therefore, to allow dynamic process to be
spawned on other nodes you need to tell PSM2 to instruct the HW to initialize
all the de devices by making the environment variable
PSM2_DEVICES="self,shm,hfi" available before running the job.
Note that setting PSM2_DEVICES (*) will solve the below assertion, you will
most likely still see the transport key issue if PR1602 if is not included.
Thanks,
_MAC

Ah, that may be why it wouldn’t show up in the OMPI code base itself. If that
is the case here, then no - OMPI v2.0.1 does not support comm_spawn for PSM. It
is fixed in the upcoming 2.0.2

Ralph,
My guess is that ptl.c comes from PSM lib ...

Spawn definitely does not work with srun. I don’t recognize the name of the
file that segfaulted - what is “ptl.c”? Is that in your manager program?

Hi,
I do not expect spawn can work with direct launch (e.g. srun)
Do you have PSM (e.g. Infinipath) hardware ? That could be linked to the failure
Can you please try
mpirun --mca pml ob1 --mca btl tcp,sm,self -np 1 --hostfile my_hosts ./manager 1
and see if it help ?
Note if you have the possibility, I suggest you first try that without slurm,
and then within a slurm job
Cheers,
Gilles

Hello,
I am using MPI_Comm_spawn to dynamically create new processes from single
manager process. Everything works fine when all the processes are running on
the same node. But imposing restriction to run only a single process per node
does not work. Below are the errors produced during multinode interactive
session and multinode sbatch job.
The system I am using is: Linux version 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64
(buil...@kbuilder.dev.centos.org<mailto:buil...@kbuilder.dev.centos.org>) (gcc
version 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-16) (GCC) )
I am using Open MPI 2.0.1
Slurm is version 15.08.9
What is preventing my jobs to spawn on multiple nodes? Does slurm requires some
additional configuration to allow it? Is it issue on the MPI side, does it need
to be compiled with some special flag (I have compiled it with
--enable-mpi-fortran=all --with-pmi)?
The code I am launching is here: https://github.com/goghino/dynamicMPI
Manager tries to launch one new process (./manager 1), the error produced by
requesting each process to be located on different node (interactive session):
$ salloc -N 2
$ cat my_hosts
icsnode37
icsnode38
$ mpirun -np 1 -npernode 1 --hostfile my_hosts ./manager 1
[manager]I'm running MPI 3.1
[manager]Runing on node icsnode37
icsnode37.12614Assertion failure at ptl.c:183: epaddr == ((void *)0)
icsnode38.32443Assertion failure at ptl.c:183: epaddr == ((void *)0)

module load openmpi/2.0.1
srun -n 1 -N 1 ./manager 1
$ cat output.o
