Dear support,
We have customers with 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13850HX processors on Windows 10 64bit where we encounter random crashes
Please have a look at .\cpuinfo.exe output

We run our product with:
mpiexec.exe -np 4 #path_to_product
Unfortunately randomly the program crashes with:
Faulting application name: hydra_pmi_proxy.exe, version: 2021.7.0.0, time stamp: 0x631b56d2
Faulting module name: hydra_pmi_proxy.exe, version: 2021.7.0.0, time stamp: 0x631b56d2

Fault offset: 0x000000000003fd11
Faulting process id: 0x0x106C

Faulting application path: C:\MAGMASOFT\v6.0.0\WINDOWS64\impi\bin\hydra_pmi_proxy.exe
Faulting module path: C:\MAGMASOFT\v6.0.0\WINDOWS64\impi\bin\hydra_pmi_proxy.exe

Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:
So apparently the hydra_pmi_proxy.exe crashes, not our product.
We have thousands of customers with Xeon processors were no crash occurs, it seems that this is due to performance and efficiency core mix on this type of processors.
We tried with
I_MPI_PIN_PROCESSOR_LIST=0,2,4,6
to prefer the performance cores but we still got random crashes
Do you have any idea what went wrong, what could be the workaround?
Best regards
Frank

@Frank_R_1
Please use the latest Intel MPI version available. Can you reproduce the issue with the IMB benchmarks? Otherwise we need a full reproducer to investigate.

Hi,
As I mentioned, not our product crashes it is the
hydra_pmi_proxy.exe (randomly crash)
This works on all Xeon and AMD processors at our customers.
It is only this type of processors with efficiency cores!
Only thing that I can try, is using Intel MPI 2021.11.
Best regards
Frank

@Frank_R_1 the support of hybrid architectures will improve with the next release. However, such a fault is not known to us and I can only help if you provide a reproducer for the observed problem using the latest version available. E.g. you may try to run IMB benchmarks or MPI-Linpack.
Best
Tobias
