nodeperf makes SegFault

Ilya_Zelenchuk — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:22:17 GMT

Good day Everyone!

I've download and install Intel C Compilers & MKL 11.064. Then build OpenMPI with intel compilers. I wish to run nodeperf on my new cluster, so, I compile nodeperf.c from MKL benchmark as:

mpicc -o nodeperf nodeperf.c ../../lib/em64t/libmkl_solver_ilp64_sequential.a -Wl,--start-group ../../lib/em64t/libmkl_intel_ilp64.a ../../lib/em64t/libmkl_sequential.a ../../lib/em64t/libmkl_core.a ../../lib/em64t/libmkl_blacs_openmpi_ilp64.a -Wl,--end-group -lpthread

But when I try to run on single node it crash with a segfault:

No multi-threaded MPI detected (Hybrid may or may not work)

Segmentation fault

The node config:

RAM: 16Gb

MKLROOT and other PATH's looks fine.

Can you help me ?

Ilya,

Please try to use/DMKL_ILP64 compiler option while linking ilp64 libraries? will it help you?

Seems not. I hope thatoption DMKL_ILP64 is using correct by me.

Hello, Ilya

The answer to this problem is quite simple: MP LINPACK doesn't support ILP64.

You can try to compile it like this:

mpiicc -o nodeperf nodeperf.c -O3 -Wl,--start-group $MKL/libmkl_intel_lp64.a $MKL/libmkl_sequential.a $MKL/libmkl_core.a -Wl,--end-group -lpthread

This way it doesn't crash.

Also don't forget that if you are using mpicc - most likely you are using MPI wrapper for gcc. I don't see the point why not to use mpiicc which is a wrapper for icc.

Hope I've been of any help.

Best regards,

Alexander

Yes, it works now!

Thanks.

I know mpicc is wrapper. But i'm using icc in it.

[root@umt mp_linpack]# mpicc --version
