I ran into something unexpected today relative to the selection of
frameworks. It was totally unplanned, and may be an error on my part - or I
may be expecting the incorrect behavior. However, since others may encounter
it unexpectedly as well, I am sending this to the list.
What I had done was:
1. set OMPI_MCA_routed=direct in my environment
2. (much later) executed: mpirun ... -mca routed binomial ...
What happened was that mpirun selected the direct routed module, while my
application procs selected the binomial module. This unfortunately doesn't
generate a warning, but rather segfaults and/or hangs at some unpredictable
time depending upon the invoked communication patterns.
It was my understanding that the cmd line should override anything in the
environment. Is this no longer true? I checked and orterun does indeed
process the cmd line prior to invoking orte_init.
Or did I inadvertently do something wrong here (other than the fact that I
had forgotten the envar was set)?
Thanks
Ralph
