Symmetric MPI run

George_H_ — Thu, 24 Jul 2014 22:15:38 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to run an mpi symmetric model on the host and mic architecture. Everything works fine as long as the total number of processes (mic+host) is less 10. But when it's greater than 10, I get the attached error.

This is my mpirun command:

mpirun -v -host p-linux -check-mpi -env I_MPI_DEBUG 5 -genv I_MPI_FABRICS shm:tcp -np 1 <host executable> : -host mic0 -iface mic0 -env I_MPI_DEBUG 5 -env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/compiler/lib/mic:/opt/intel/mic/coi/device-linux-release/lib:/opt/intel/mic/myo/lib:/opt/intel/mic/coi/device-linux-release/lib:/opt/intel/mic/myo/lib:/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/compiler/lib/mic:/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/mkl/lib/mic:/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/tbb/lib/mic -np 11 <mic executable>

Here the total number of processes is 11+1=12 which is greater than 10 and so I get the error. If it's less than 10 the program executes correctly.

I noticed that in the bottom part of the above error message, i.e. :

[proxy:0:1@p-linux-mic0] got pmi command (from 30): put
kvsname=kvs_9321_0 key=P10-businesscard-0 value=description#

there is no $port ... $ifname after the "value=description#" part, which is not the case for other processes.

Thanks

Just for an update, I ran the mpi test case, and got exactly the same problem.

mpirun -host p-linux -env I_MPI_DEBUG 5 -genv I_MPI_FABRICS shm:tcp -np 1 -check_mpi ./a.host : -host mic0 -iface mic0 -env I_MPI_DEBUG 5 -np 10 ./a.mic

Hi George,

Hi George,

- Could you run your application on host only (without coprocessor) with more than 10 ranks? Do you see the same error?

- Repeat the test again on the coprocessor only (without host) with more than 10 ranks? Do you see the same error?

Everything works fine when I run on host or phi only. The problem in is the symmetric execution. I'm using the Intel mpi version 4.1.3.

Is there a MaxSessions

Frances_R_Intel — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 21:48:28 GMT

Is there a MaxSessions specified in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?

Hi George,

Hi George,

You use the option "-iface" only in your command when you want to specify a network interface. In your case, you don't need to specify mic0. Therefore, can you retry your command without "-iface mic0" and observe if you still have that error:

# mpirun -host p-linux -env I_MPI_DEBUG 5 -genv I_MPI_FABRICS shm:tcp -np 1 -check_mpi ./a.host : -host mic0 -env I_MPI_DEBUG 5 -np 10 ./a.mic
