[mpich-discuss] Problems running mpi application on different CPUs

[Gaetano Bellanca]

Hi,

I'm sorry but  I posted with a wrong Object my previous message!!!

I have a small cluster of
a) 1 server: dual processor / quad core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU  E5345
b) 4 clients: single processor / dual core Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU  
E8400
connected  with a 1Gbit/s ethernet network.

I compiled mpich2-1.1.1p1 on the first system (a) and share mpich on the 
other computers via nfs. I have mpd running as a root on all the 
computers (ubunt 8.04 . kernel 2.6.24-24-server)

When I run my code in parallel on the first system, it works correctly; 
the same happens running the same code  in parallel on the other computers
(always running the code from the server). On the contrary, running the 
code using processors from both the server and the clients at the same 
time with the command:

mpiexec -machinefile machinefile -n 4 my_parallel_code

I receive this error message:

Fatal error in MPI_Init: Other MPI error, error stack:
MPIR_Init_thread(394): Initialization failed
(unknown)(): Other MPI error
rank 3 in job 8  c1_4545   caused collective abort of all ranks
 exit status of rank 3: return code 1

Should I use some particular flags in compilation or at run time?

Regards.

Gaetano
