[MPICH] mpich2 problem with MCNP5

[David Ashton]

bastian,

 

The error for MPICH2 states that there is a stack overflow.  I suspect this
is a problem with the way the fortran application was compiled.  I don’t
remember the details off the top of my head but I believe if you tell the
compiler to increase the amount of global memory so you can have a large
static array for instance, then this also affects the amount of memory
available for the thread stacks.  The only way to resolve it is to use
memory off the heap instead of large static variables and not increase the
global memory space.

 

I may be way off my diagnosis.  What parameters to the compiler or #pragmas
did you use to compile the application?

Dear colleagues,

 

I try to do some core calculations using the MPI parallel option of MCNP5.
Therefore I have a input file with about more or less 70.000 cells.

It is running without any problems on my local machine using about 600MB of
RAM. 

When I try to execute the same Job with MPI on one our more machines I get
the following error:

 

 

With mpich:

cp0 =   4.21

forrtl: severe (170): Program Exception - stack overflow

I tried to run a smaller job on the cluster and its working fine. So it
should not be a problem with a wrong configured MPI. All computers in the
cluster have about 1GB of RAM, so it should not be the RAM either. I don’t
have any idea to overcome this problem so I would be glad about some help!!

 

Has anyone an idea to fix this problem?

 

Thank you all in advance!!
