[mpich-discuss] MPICH2 On Windows 64 bit and Mingw-w64 compilers

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 Are you trying to link your code with mpi.lib ? Mingw compilers may not be playing nice with the windows libraries. AFAICT we added support for mingw 64-bit compilers (*.a libraries compatible with mingw 64-bit compilers) after 1.3.1 was released. It should be available in the next release, 1.3.2, due this month.

(PS: If you need it sooner than that let me know and I can get you a custom build for development purposes)
Regards,
Jayesh

Hi Jayesh 

I opened CMD with "Run as administrator" and did the following: 

C:\tmp>"C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin"\mpiexec.exe -n 2 -localroot c:\tmp\icpi.exe 

Job terminated with following error message: 

" 
Error posting writev, A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket had already been shut down in that direction with a previous shutdown call.(10058) 
unable to post a write for the next command, 
sock error: Error = 10058 

unable to post a write of the closed_request command to the parent context. 
unable to close the stdin context. 
state machine failed. 
" 

C:\tmp>"C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin"\mpiexec.exe -n 2 -localroot -exitcodes c:\tmp\icpi.exe 

Job terminated with following error message: 

" 
rank: node: exit code

1: Arun-PC: -1073741819 
" 

C:\tmp>"C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin"\smpd -status 

" 
smpd running on Arun-PC 
" 

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
 Can you try running the job from an administrator command prompt (Note that opening a command prompt from an administrator account does not give you an admin command prompt. Right-click on the command prompt icon and select "Run as administrator" to get an admin command prompt) and see if it works ?
 Can you also check the status of the MPICH2 process manager (Type "smpd -status" at the command prompt)?

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi Jayesh

I tried that. It did not help. Here is the response:

"

When I killed the job by <CTRL> C, the following messages appeared:

"

When I tried the same thing on the pre-built "cpi.exe", I get the same 
messages that I got with "icpi.exe", but it still works:

"

When I killed this job by <CTRL> C, the following messages appeared:

Does it have anything to do with an incorrect node (-1073741819) on 
which mpiexec is trying to launch the processes? Thanks for your help.

Arun

Hi,
  Can you try running your program with the "-localroot" option and let us know if it works for you (mpiexec -n 2 -localroot icpi.exe)?

Regards,
Jayesh

Hi

I am trying to use MPICH2 on Windows 7 64bit (installed from
mpich2-1.3.1-win-x86-64.msi) along with Mingw-w64 compiler suite
(mingw-w64-1.0-bin_i686-mingw_20101129).

I tried to compile-link the example "icpi.c" using following command:

C:\MinGW\mingw-w64-1.0-bin_i686-mingw_20101129\bin\x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe
-I"C:\Program Files\MPICH2\include" icpi.c -L"C:\Program
Files\MPICH2\lib" -lmpi -o icpi.exe

I could get the executable, but it doesn't run with any number of
processors. When run with mpiexec, it aborts without any message. I
could run the pre-built "cpi.exe" with any number of CPU's. I don't have
MS Visual Studio on my machine. Can anyone help?

By the way, the 32-bit version of MPICH1 (1.2.5 SDK.gcc) works well with
Mingw-w32 compiler suite.

Thanks
Arun
