<pre wrap="">Hi Roberto,
Thanks for your note. You are using the ch3:sock device in MVAPICH2 which
is the same as MPICH2. You are also seeing similar failure scenarios (but
in different forms) with MPICH2 1.0.7. I am cc'ing this message to mpich2
mailing list. One of the MPICH2 developers will be able to extend help on
this issue faster.
</pre>

Thanks for that. About the mpich2 problem, I already sent an email
regarding its related issue. <br>
But the strange thing is that when linking against mpich2 I don't see a
so fast race as I see in the<br>
mvapich2. In the mpich2 case I had to wait 1 or 2 hours before the lock.<br>
</blockquote>
Just an update about the problem I got. After replacing all the
MPI_Send() to MPI_Ssend() everything<br>
seems working well with mpich2 v1.0.7. My application doesn't race
anymore at least after dispatching<br>
50.000 jobs across 4 nodes, but trying to execute the same application
against the last mvapich2 1.2rc1<br>
I'm still getting the same problem as shown below.<br>
<br>
I've another question, since this multithreaded application has to run
into a cluster with 1024 nodes equiped <br>
with Mellanox IB card, I really like to know if the OpenFabrics-IB
interface does support the MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE<br>
initialization and also the MPI_Comm_spawn() implementation.<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for the feedback.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi All on the list,
I'm trying to use mvapich2 v1.2rc1 in a multithreaded application,
initialize using MPI_THREAD_MULTI.
I've the master application doing the following thing, start several
thread depending by the assigned nodes,
on each node a slave application is spawned using the MPI_Comm_spawn().
Before to call the
MPI_Comm_spawn() I prepare the given MPI_Info struct, one for each
thread, in order to set the all keys
(host and wdir) for addressing the wanted behaviour. So, as sooner as
the master application starts, it races
immediately with 4 nodes, 1 master and 3 slaves. Below you can see the
status of the master application at race
time. It seems stuck on the PMIU_readline() which never returns so the
global lock is never relesead. MVAPICH2
is compiled with:
PKG_PATH=/HRI/External/mvapich2/1.2rc1
./configure --prefix=$PKG_PATH \
--bindir=$PKG_PATH/bin/linux-x86_64-gcc-glibc2.3.4 \
--sbindir=$PKG_PATH/bin/linux-x86_64-gcc-glibc2.3.4 \
--libdir=$PKG_PATH/lib/linux-x86_64-gcc-glibc2.3.4 \
--enable-sharedlibs=gcc \
--enable-f90 \
--enable-threads=multiple \
--enable-g=-ggdb \
--enable-debuginfo \
--with-device=ch3:sock \
--datadir=$PKG_PATH/data \
--with-htmldir=$PKG_PATH/doc/html \
--with-docdir=$PKG_PATH/doc \
LDFLAGS='-Wl,-z,noexecstack'
so I'm using the ch3:sock device.

where the thread 2 is poll()ing never never returns, so never signals
the poll() completion and than all the others
waiters in the MPIDI_CH3I_Progress() condition will never wake up.
Does anyone is having the same problem?
Thanks in advance,
Roberto Fichera.
