Hello,

I’ve wanted to run MPI on a couple of PS3 here. According to a colleague who set it up, I had to set several HugePages. As the PS3 RAM is limited I had to allocate 2 HugePages. I ran HPL at first with the following command (out of a tutorial):

mpirun --mca btl_openib_want_fork_support 0 -np 1 numactl --physcpubind=0 ./xhpl : -np 1 numactl --physcpubind=1 ./xhpl

Now as I had very little memory I had to disable some services. I did so (Wifi Service, Bluetooth, printing, unneeded). After running the same command again, I got the an error message (see below). Can anyone help me here, I have no idea what the error message actually means, and I can’t find anything useful about it. It’s running on Yellow Dog Linux, using OpenMPI 1.2.8

Cheers,

Andreas Hoelzlwimmer
