[mpich-discuss] mpich2 error

[daniel shawul]

Dear Jayesh
I have confirmed it runs correctly on a linux machine with openmpi.
So it is probably a problem with my setup of mpich2 on the windows machine.
thank you for your help

Hi,
You dummy code (I would recommend sending us a working test code along with the skeleton next time - saves us a lot of time) worked for me (with NTOTAL = 68 and dummy work functions). Please debug your code further to make sure that there are no bugs in the code (I would recommend looking into the work funcs & the "command").

(PS: Also make sure you use the latest stable release of MPICH2)
Regards,
Jayesh

Hello , 
I am trying to schedule tasks in a batch file using a small MPI c program as a scheduler. 
Processor 0 is the scheduler, sends jobs to others, checks when a work is finished and sends 
the idle processor to work again. Other than that it doesn't do real work. 
Using mpich2 the program works but I sometimes get the below error when the job takes a long time to finish. 
It tells me it could be something related to timeout. The error is shown below. Thank you for any suggestions
