[mpich-discuss] MPICH2 on AIX

[Eric Sun]

Hi Pavan,

Thanks for your suggestion. The installation succeeded.  (Also thank Anthony
for correcting me on configure.)

FYI, I needed to edit src/openpa/src/Makefile to change "AR = ar" to "AR =
ar -X64". So, the AR="ar -X64" didn't apply to this directory. Also, somehow
I need to edit the main Makefile to add full path for "INSTALL =
confdb/install-sh". Everything else is fine.

I'm now doing a first test using "mpiexec -l -n 4 hostname". For n=1, it
always works. n=2 occasionally fails. n=3 occasionally successes. n=4 always
gives the following message:
mpiexec_pls01.ccni.rpi.edu (mpiexec 392): no msg recvd from mpd when
expecting ack of request

My testing using "mpdringtest 10" gives "time for 10 loops = 1.65166211128
seconds". I've no idea what a reasonable number should be. But my feeling is
that the problem in the mpiexec testing is related to the "slow"
mpdringtest.

I appreciate for your suggestions.

FYI, the machine is Power5 with 32 cores.
