Hi Everyone,

              I noticed that it hangs just before displaying the following while trying to checkpoint the application.

 

############################

[sun06:15252] orte_checkpoint: notify_hnp: Requested a checkpoint of jobid [INVALID] 

###############################

 

Can it be related to the above?

 

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

                    I wrote a small program with a function to trigger the checkpointing mechanism as follows:

 

############################################

 

#include <mpi.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>

void trigger_checkpoint();

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int rank,size;
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);
printf("I am processor no %d of a total of %d procs \n", rank, size);
system("sleep 10");
trigger_checkpoint();
printf("I am processor no %d of a total of %d procs \n", rank, size);
system("sleep 10");
printf("I am processor no %d of a total of %d procs \n", rank, size);
system("sleep 10");
printf("bye \n");
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}

 

void trigger_checkpoint()
{
  printf("hi\n");
  system("ompi-checkpoint -v `pidof mpirun` ");

}

#############################################

      

 

The application works fine on my laptop with ubuntu as the OS. However, when I tried running it on one of the machines at my uni, with suse linux installed, the application hangs as soon as the ompi-checkpoint is triggered. This is what I get:

 

 

 

##########################################################

I am processor no 0 of a total of 1 procs

does anyone has some ideas about this?

 

Thanks a lot
