Hi, Ondrej,<br> I met similar problems before. The problem is solved by:<br> (1) Install all service packs and .net framework 2.0;<br> (2) Update to the latest version of MPICH2;<br> (3) I realized that I changed the user name of my account before. The mpi only recognizes the initial account name. So I registered this account again. <br>
Good luck!<br> <br>Vivian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 1:00 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mpich-discuss-request@mcs.anl.gov">mpich-discuss-request@mcs.anl.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi Bob,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your advice. It seems that the 2nd solution would be my last<br>
chance. I just don't know if I want Vista running as the 2nd computer. I<br>
only have 1 router between the computers, so the 1st solution is not<br>
applicable for me. I just don't understand why the setting of mpi is so<br>
different and more complicated than setting mpi on linux.<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Don't forget the mission. You want to deploy MPI and not debug a Windows<br>
glitch however enticing that may be. I get caught out by digging into the<br>
Windows guts and spending hours on something I can never fix anyhow.<br>

Hi,<br>
Do you have a user Ondrej on the second machine (Do you have a different<br>

program on the second machine (Login to the second host, shrek, and run an<br>
MPI program) ?<br>

Hello,<br>

I have one problem on Windows XP SP3 and I'm starting to feel really<br>
desperate now. Thanks to help of this:<br>

I was able to get over the validation of mpiexec (mpiexec -validate<br>
returned SUCCESS). Anyway, if I want to run even the simplest program<br>
possible,i.e. mpiexec -host second_host hostname, I always get the error:<br>
<br>
Credentials for Ondrej rejected connecting to shrek<br>
Aborting: Unable to connect to shrek<br>

do "smpd -status shrek" (from Ondrej computer), I get:<br>

smpd running on shrek<br>
<br>
So it seems that everything is ok. I turned off the firewalls, I can ping<br>
each other and also the shared folders are accessible from both computers.<br>
Just the mpi is not running as it should. I reinstalled<br>
mpich2 and rebooted computer so many times, that it couldn't be<br>
reinstalled and rebooted any more. Does anyone have some similar problems<br>
or at least have any clue how to solve this? Thanks.<br>

Hi,<br>
Great to know its working for you now. What was the value (The value with<br>
the bad perf) of TcpAckFrequency in your machine (Did you change the<br>
default value before you ran your test cases ?)?<br>
<br>

Hi Everyone:<br>
<br>
Finally the problem is resolved by adding a registry value<br>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Inte<br>
rfaces\{NIC-id}\TcpAckFrequency<br>
<br>
Set TcpAckFrequency to 1 resolves the problem.<br>

Why are you use MPICH2 ?<br>
<br>
The Cluster component on Windows server 2008 (HPC component) have MSMPI it<br>
is like MPICH2 but it is modified by Microsoft.<br>
You can use it as MPICH2. There is no change in any thing the same<br>
functions and everything is the same.<br>
<br>
I have tried it on a cluster of 4 nodes and it works.<br>

Subject: [mpich-discuss] MPICH2 1.0.6p1 & Windows HPC Server 2008<br>
(badperformance)<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi everyone:<br>
<br>
I have a cluster of 4 nodes, all of them are with Windows HPC server 2008<br>
installed.<br>
I make all of the 4 nodes in the same workgroup. I use MPICH2 1.0.6p1 from<br>
Argonne Lab.<br>
And then<br>
1. firewall of all 4 nodes are turned off<br>
2. UAC (User Account Control) of all 4 nodes are turned off<br>
3. I start smpd.exe (1.0.6p1 x64) in all the 4 nodes<br>
<br>
And I run a very simple MPI program (test_mpich2.exe)<br>
<br>
#include "mpi.h"<br>
#include <iostream><br>
int main(int argc, char **argv)<br>
{<br>
int cpuid, ncpu;<br>
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);<br>
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &ncpu);<br>
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &cpuid);<br>
printf("NCPU:%d, CPUID:%d\n", ncpu, cpuid);<br>
fflush(stdout);<br>
printf("start barrier\n"); fflush(stdout);<br>
MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD);<br>
printf("end barrier\n"); fflush(stdout);<br>
MPI_Finalize();<br>
return 0;<br>
}<br>
<br>
The command is<br>
mpiexec -hosts 2 192.168.1.1 <<a href="http://192.168.1.1/" target="_blank">http://192.168.1.1/</a>> 192.168.1.2<br>
<<a href="http://192.168.1.2/" target="_blank">http://192.168.1.2/</a>> \\192.168.1.1\shared\test_mpich2.exe<br>
<br>
And the MPI_Barrier(...) function costs 10 seconds to return !!!!!<br>
<br>
If the same code is running on a Windows XP cluster, MPI_Barrier(...)<br>
returns at once!<br>
<br>
<br>
Does anyone know how to solve this problem on Windows HPC Server 2008 ?<br>
(Windows Vista has the same problem, too)<br>
<br>

<br>
