Hahaha, ok then that WAS silly! :D
So there is no way to utilize both cores with mpi?

We are using both cores - it is just that they are on the same node. Unless told otherwise, the processes will use shared memory for communication.


Ah well, I'll correct that.

From console, im starting a job like this: mpirun -np 4 Program, where i want to run a Program on 4 processors.
I was just stumbled when i got same output 4 times, like there are 4 processes ranked 0.
While with the old version of mpi (1.2) same execution would give 4 processes ranked 0..3.

And so you should - if not, then there is something wrong. No way mpirun would start 4 processes ranked 0. How are you printing the rank? Are you sure you are getting it correctly?



Hope you see my question.

I am new to mpi, so I'm sorry for any silly questions.

My idea was to try to use dual core machine as two nodes. I have a limited access to a cluster, so this was just for "testing" purposes.
My default hostfile contains usual comments and this two nodes:

node0
node1
I thought that each processor is a node for MPI purpose.

I'm afraid not - it is just another processor on that node. So you only have one node as far as OMPI is concerned.

Im not sure what do you mean with "mpirun cmd line"?

How are you starting your job? The usual way is with "mpirun -n N ...". That is what we mean by the "mpirun cmd line" - i.e., what command are you using to start your job?

It sounds like things are actually working correctly. You might look at "mpirun -h" for possible options of interest.

I checked the default MCA param file, and found it was there that was (automatically) specified as a relative path, so i changed it.
So now, it works, altho, still something is not right.
Seems like its creating 4 times only 1 process.
Not sure if it has to do something with my hostfile, it contains:

node0
node1

I am running this on a simple dualcore machine, so i specified it as a localhost with two nodes.

I don't understand this comment - a dual core machine would still be a single node. Just happens to have two processors in it.

Could you send the contents of your hostfile and your mpirun cmd line?

I understand, so, its looking for a working_dir/usr/local/etc/openmpi-default-hostfile
I managed to run a hello world program from the console, while my wd was just "/" and it worked, altho strangely...
example for 4 procs:

Hello MPI World From process 0: Num processes: 1
Hello MPI World From process 0: Num processes: 1
Hello MPI World From process 0: Num processes: 1
Hello MPI World From process 0: Num processes: 1

So, you are saying i allways have to be in "/" to run mpi programs, or there is a way for mpi to search absolute path?
It seems pretty inconvinient this way.
I think v 1.2 didnt have this limitation.

Does this have to do anything with LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Mario

Hello.
It looks that you hostfile path should
be /usr/local/etc/openmpi-default-hostfile not
usr/local/etc/openmpi-default-hostfile but somehow Open MPI gets the
second path.
