[mpich-discuss] Running one MPI program from another

[Rod Cook]

Hi,

I am trying to run an MPI program (prog) from another MPI program (test) using CreateProcess under Windows XP.  I am using MPICH2 v1.08. 

Source for test
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <afx.h>
#include "mpi.h"
int run_program( char * program )
{
   STARTUPINFO si;
   PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
   ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
   si.cb = sizeof(si);
   ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );
   if( !CreateProcess( NULL, program, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi )  ) 
   {
      return -1;
   }
   WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess, INFINITE );
   CloseHandle( pi.hProcess );
   CloseHandle( pi.hThread );
   return 0;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   MPI_Init(NULL,NULL);
   run_program("prog");
   MPI_Finalize();
 return 0;
}

Source for prog
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "mpi.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   MPI_Init( NULL, NULL );
   MPI_Finalize();
   return 0;
}

I get the following error when I run test:

>mpiexec -n 1 test
MPIDU_Sock_post_connect failed.
[0] PMI_ConnectToHost failed: unable to post a connect to Yellowtail yellowtail
                 :2057, error: Unknown error class, error stack:

 on port 2057, exhausted all endpoints (errno -1)

MPIR_Init_thread(294): Initialization failed
MPID_Init(83)........: channel initialization failed

In my actual application prog is either a standalone MPI program which I can't change or a non MPI program (in which case test works) . 


I'd be gratefull for any help.


Thanks
