Hi Federico

I tested the trunk today and it works fine for me - I let it spin for 1000 cycles without issue. My test program is essentially identical to what you describe - you can see it in the orte/test/mpi directory. The "master" is loop_spawn.c, and the "slave" is loop_child.c. I only tested it on a single machine, though - will have to test multi-machine later. You might see if that makes a difference.

The error you report in your attachment is a classic symptom of mismatched versions. Remember, we don't forward your ld_lib_path, so it has to be correct on your remote machine.

As for r22794 - we don't keep anything that old on our web site. If you want to build it, the best way to get the code is to do a subversion checkout of the developer's trunk at that revision level:

svn co -r 22794 http://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/trunk

Remember to run autogen before configure.

Hi Ralph,

I'm getting stuck with spawning stuff,

I've downloaded the snapshot from the trunk of 1st of March (openmpi-1.7a1r24472.tar.bz2),
I'm testing using a small program that does the following:
 - master program starts and each rank prints his hostsname
 - master program spawn a slave program with the same size
 - each rank of the slave (spawned) program prints his hostname
 - end
Not always he is able to complete the progam run, two different behaviour:
 1. not all the slave print their hostname and the program ends suddenly
 2. both program ends correctly but orted demon is still alive and I need to press crtl-c to exit


I've tryed to recompile my test program with a previous snapshot (openmpi-1.7a1r22794.tar.bz2)
where I have only the compiled version of OpenMPI (in another machine).
It gives me an error before starting (I've attacehd)
Surfing on the FAQ I found some tip and I verified to compile the program with the correct OpenMPI version,
that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is consistent.
So I would like to re-compile the openmpi-1.7a1r22794.tar.bz2 but where can I found it ?


Thank you,
Federico

Apparently not. I will investigate when I return from vacation next week.

Hi Ralf,

I've tested spawning with the OpenMPI 1.5 release but that fix is not there.
Are you sure you've added it ?

Thank you,
Federico

The fix should be there - just didn't get mentioned.

Let me know if it isn't and I'll ensure it is in the next one...but I'd be very surprised if it isn't already in there.

Hi Ralf !

I saw that the new realease 1.5 is out. 
I didn't found this fix in the "list of changes", is it present but not mentioned since is a minor fix ?

Thank you,
Federico

Hi there!

It will be in the 1.5.0 release, but not 1.4.2 (couldn't backport the fix). I understand that will come out sometime soon, but no firm date has been set.

Hi Ralph,


         I've downloaded and tested the openmpi-1.7a1r22817 snapshot,
and it works fine for (multiple) spawning more than 128 processes.

That fix will be included in the next release of OpenMPI, right ?
Do you when it will be released ? Or where I can find that info ?

Thank you,
     Federico

I'm not sure this patch will solve your problem, but it is worth a try.
