[mpich-discuss] Cpi.exe hangs

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,

# Which version of MPICH2 are you using ?
# Which version of Windows are you using ?
# Is this the first time you are running MPICH2 (Have you been able to run a previous version of MPICH2)?
# I am assuming that you have turned off the firewalls on both the nodes. If not, please do so and re-run your job.
# Can you copy-paste the command and the output in your email ?
# Does the behavior change if you launch the program from the second node (instead of the first node) ?

Hi, 

Yes i am able to ping from each node to every 
other node. I tried running cpi.exe like you said. 

The example works fine, Untill I try to quit. 
But when i try to quit it hangs.

Hi, 
Are you able to ping from each node to every other node ? (Note that it is not enough to be able to ping all nodes from the node where you launch your job). I would recommend using two hosts for your initial tests. Ping from machine A to machine B AND from machine B to machine A. If that works try running cpi.exe on the two nodes, mpiexec -n 2 -machinefile mf.txt cpi.exe).

Hi, 

I can run the example CPI, on a single host. 
When I try to run it on multiple hosts 
it still works. But, it does not terminate 
properly. It hags when i try to quit the CPi example.

Hi, 
Can you run the example program provided with MPICH2 (C:\Progra~1\MPICH2\examples\cpi.exe)? 

(PS: The MPI processes try to connect to each other to exchange data when MPI_Send() is called. So your problem could still be a network setup issue.)

Subject: MPI_Finalize hangs 

Hi, 

I found the problem. 
It was not the firewall. 

The process hangs at MPI_Finalize. 
When i abort the process I Get correct the results. 

I think the MPI_Send causes this problem. 
I tried using non-blocking send but ran in to the same issue. 
I have the same issue when i try running the CPi.c example 
on multiple hosts. 

The following is the code. 
I don't see anything wrong with it. 
What do you think causes this issue. 

Program 

#include < mpi .h> 
#include <iostream> 
#include <stdio.h> /* printf and BUFSIZ defined there */ 
#include <stdlib.h> /* exit defined there */ 


using namespace std; 

int _tmain(int argc, char * argv[]) 
{ 
int numtasks, rank, dest, source, rc, tag=1; 
char inmsg, outmsg='F'; 
MPI_Status Stat; 




MPI_Init(&argc,&argv); 
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &numtasks); 
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank); 

if (rank == 0) { 
dest = 1; 
printf(" Process %d: testing \n",rank); 

rc = MPI_Send(&outmsg, 1, MPI_CHAR, dest, tag, MPI_COMM_WORLD); 
printf(" Process %d: sent \n",rank); 

} 

else if (rank == 1) { 
source = 0; 
printf(" Process %d: testing \n",rank); 
rc = MPI_Recv(&inmsg, 1, MPI_CHAR, source, tag, MPI_COMM_WORLD,&Stat); 

printf("Process %d: Received %c char(s) from task %d with tag %d \n", 
rank, inmsg, Stat.MPI_SOURCE, Stat.MPI_TAG); 


} 

MPI_Finalize(); 
return 0; 
} 

-Regards
