How to debug under Intel MPI?

[linfa]

Hi

How to set a breakpoint on a given rank? In the following example, I would like to set a breakpoint on rank0, but not on rank 1 and rank2. how do I do it? How do I switch between different rank? Thanks.

[linfa@ran testrun]$ mpirun -gdb -np 3 ../exec/intelmpitest
WARNING: Can't read mpd.hosts for list of hosts, start only on current
0-2: (gdb)

Thanks.

Hi linfa,

Using 'z' command you can switch active processes. For example:
[zzz@serv1002 zzz]$
[zzz@serv1002 zzz]$ mpiexec -gdb -n 4 ./test_debug
0-3: (gdb) z 1-3
1-3: (gdb) b 53
1-3: Breakpoint 2 at 0x4009f3: file test.c, line 53.
1-3: (gdb) z
0-3: (gdb) r
0-3: Continuing.
0: Hello world: rank 0 of 4 running on svlmpicl1002
1-3:
2: Breakpoint 2, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fff2a943e58) at test.c:53
3: Breakpoint 2, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fff70c3ba18) at test.c:53
1: Breakpoint 2, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fff53837d48) at test.c:53
1-3: 53 MPI_Send (&namelen, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 1, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
1-3: (gdb) 1-3: (gdb) list
1-3: 48
1-3: 49 } else {
1-3: 50
1-3: 51 MPI_Send (&rank, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 1, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
1-3: 52 MPI_Send (&size, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 1, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
1-3: 53 MPI_Send (&namelen, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 1, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
1-3: 54 MPI_Send (name, namelen + 1, MPI_CHAR, 0, 1, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
1-3: 55
1-3: 56 }
1-3: 57
1-3: (gdb)

Did you ask about this command?

Regards!
Dmitry

Hi Dmitry,

Wow! That is exactly what I want! Thanks very much!

How would this be done using eclipse?

I'm afraid this doesn't work for me because the code launches immediately and there is no chance to enter commands, and also CTRL-C doesn't work to halt the program. Any advice on how to get around this?
