coarray giving mpd error

[roddur]

Hello,

I am just trying to learn coarray. The code, from Steve Blair-Chappell's is:

$ cat hello.f90 

!This is file : hello

Program  hello

Implicit None

write(*,*)"Hello", this_image()

End Program  hello

and compiled it using

 ifort -coarray hello.f90

But I am getting error:

$ ./a.out 

mpdallexit: cannot connect to local mpd (/tmp/mpd2.console_rudra_ICAF_2735); possible causes:

1. no mpd is running on this host

2. an mpd is running but was started without a "console" (-n option)

The error is correct, as there is no mpd running.
But do I really need mpi to run coarray?
my fortran is :

$ ifort -vifort version 13.1.3

[roddur]

possibly this is the cause:$ mpirun 

/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/mpirt/bin/intel64/mpirun: line 96: /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/mpirt/bin/intel64/mpivars.sh: No such file or directory

In my bashrc, I have 

source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64

but I don't have mpivars.sh.Kindly help.

If you have only the co-array runtime (not a full MPI) on PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, there is no mpivars script; I see the same.  However:

./a.out

 Hello           1
 Hello           2
 Hello           4
 Hello           3
 Hello           6
 Hello          13
 Hello           7
 Hello          15
 Hello          10
 Hello           5
 Hello           8
 Hello           9
 Hello          19
 Hello          16
 Hello          17
 Hello          18
 Hello          20
 Hello          21
 Hello          12
 Hello          24
 Hello          14
 Hello          11
 Hello          22
 Hello          23

So I suspect something about your installation; perhaps you didn't install with root permissions, or don't have permission on /tmp.  I suppose you should be able to change the assignment to /tmp to your local /tmp where you have permission, by environment variable.

I expect the mpd would run only for the duration of your execution.

Does ldd show all the .so references?

Do I need to do anything to put coarray in PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

during my installation i do get an error that libc_osi is missing.  I dont know if that is the reason.

[TimP]

If the .so references resolve OK, your LD_LIBRARY_PATH must be OK.

[roddur]

TimP,

did not got you

[Lorri_M_Intel]

Issue the command:
   which mpiexec

Coarray support uses MPI underneath the covers, and built-into the a.out executable is an invocation of mpiexec, and we provide the Intel MPI mpiexec on the Fortran kit.

We've seen cases where an existing installation of a different MPI causes a little confusion.    You may need to modify your "path" variable to put our mpiexec before the one installed on your system.

           --Lorri

[roddur]

$ which mpiexec

/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/mpirt/bin/intel64/mpiexec

and I have no other mpi installed in my machine.

[roddur]

Any help please?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling Fortran. Which distribution and version of Linux are you using?

[roddur]

Fedora 19, 64bit

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Hmm - Fedora 19 is newer than what we have tested. It would not astonish me if it broke something - new versions of Linux distros often do. But Lorri is the real expert in this area and I'll ask her to try to help you further.

[Lorri_M_Intel]

The command that is built-into your a.out looks something like this:
'mpd --daemon >/dev/null && mpiexec -genv I_MPI_DEVICE shm -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK disable -n 8 a.out ; mpdallexit'.

So, let's try a couple more things. 
First,
      which mpd
Is it in the same directory where you found your mpiexec?

Ultimately,  "mpd" is a python script, so can you please issue the following:
          python -V

Please note that is an uppercase V ...if you use lowercase v it's noisy and unhelpful for this situation.

Let's try the "mpd" command (without sending errors to the null-device) and see if that gives a clue:
    mpd --daemon

We'll figure out where to go after we see any errors, OK?

                 --Lorri

[roddur]

Hi Lorri,

Thanks for your reply.  mpd seems to give some error I guess.

$ which mpd

/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/mpirt/bin/intel64/mpd

$ python -V

Python 2.7.5

$ mpd --daemon

Hi Lorri,

Anything else I should check?

[Lorri_M_Intel]

Hi roddur -

   Sorry for the delay; I was off for a couple of days.
   Can you get your hands on an older version of python?  We have 2.6.6 here and coarrays work.
   If you *can* get a copy, if it's possible to install it / insert it into the Composer XE directories instead of your system directories, that would be less disruptive to your system in general.

   If you cannot get an older Python installed on your system, we'll have to try a handful of undocumented/unsupported tricks to get you running so you can continue your experimentation. 

                 --Lorri

[roddur]

Hi Lorri,

Thanks for your reply. For Fedora system, 2.6.6 is bit old. I have downloaded the python 2.6.6. So, Can I directly insert it in some place under ifor installation? I think I can have two different version of python in a linux, so that may not be a problem. But please let me know where and how to place it.

Just FYI, I can run the example code with no problems and am using Python 2.7.5

[Lorri_M_Intel]

Casey, that's interesting news ... what Linux-distro are you using?  And, what version of Intel Fortran do you have installed?   Maybe my concern about the python-incompatibility is ill-founded.  I had based my concern on the errors that roddur had listed ...

roddur, maybe you shouldn't install python just yet; I don't want to mess up your system, just in case.
Instead, can we try something else? 

I'd mentioned before that we build-in a command that invokes "mpd" then "mpiexec" then "mpdallexit".   I'm going to tell you how to shut off that built-in command, and then we can experiment with other commands.

    ifort -coarray -switch no_launch hello.f90   

this will create "a.out", and we can try some commands.   FIrst, let's try

              mpiexec.hydra a.out

Did that succeed?

[Casey]

Lorri,

I am using Gentoo Linux.
