channel initialization failed & I_MPI_DEBUG

Hi all:I got the following problems on a Windows 7 x64 node.D:\\test_impi>mpiexec.exe -localonly -n 2 IMB-MPI1.exeinit command received but no process group structure found to match it: pg <>[0] PMI_Init failed: FAIL - init command received but no process group structurefount to match it.Fatal error in MPI_Init: Other MPI error, error stack:MPIR_Init_thread(645): Initialization failedMPID_Init(134).......: channel initialization failedMPID_Init(430).......: PMI_Init returned -1init command received but no process group structure found to match it: pg <>[0] PMI_Init failed: FAIL - init command received but no process group structurefount to match it.Fatal error in MPI_Init: Other MPI error, error stack:MPIR_Init_thread(645): Initialization failedMPID_Init(134).......: channel initialization failedMPID_Init(430).......: PMI_Init returned -1D:\\test_impi>

Hi Seifer,

Is this with the IMB executable that is shipped with the Intel MPI Library, or with one you (or your customer) have compiled? Does this happen with other MPI programs on this computer? What are the environment variables on the computer? Is there a different MPI implementation installed on the computer?

Hi James:

(1) The IMB executable is shipped with the Intel MPI Library 4.0.3.009.

(2) All other MPI programs got the same problem.

(3) I type "echo %I_MPI_ROOT%" in the cmd.exe and got %I_MPI_ROOT%. (I think this variable is not set.)

(4) I think there is no other smpd running.

(5) By the way, I just start smpd as the service and use mpiexec to run the MPI program. I don't INSTALL the intel mpi by installation program.

regards,

Seifer

Hi Seifer,

Would it be possible to install the Intel MPI Library on the system?
