tmi

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use tmi fabric for intel mpi library but when i run my application with dynamic process management using MPI_Comm_spawn, application fails to run, but if i run without any I_MPI_FABRICS arguments then it works fine. Could someone please suggest what I might be doing wrong? Please see the rows that have been marked with "-->" are debugging statements in my program.

Hey Robo,

Thanks for getting in touch.  We have a nice article explaining how to enable use the TMI fabric for the Intel® MPI Library.  You're welcome to check it out.

When you don't set any value for the I_MPI_FABRICS env variable, it'll try to run over the default shm:dapl fabric.  In your case, that's actually failing as well, as indicated by these messages:

librdmacm: Fatal: unable to open RDMA device

And because Intel MPI doesn't want you to fail, it falls back to running just over regular Ethernet:

[0] MPI startup(): shm and tcp data transfer modes

Can you read through the article and make sure you have everything in place, such as a tmi.conf file?  If it still doesn't work, it'll be great to know what network cards you're running, and what the software stack controlling them are (e.g. Qlogic PSM).

Looking forward to hearing back.

Regards,
~Gergana

Thanks Gergana for your reply. We are using intel

"QLE7342-CK dual port IB card". I set up tmi.conf following the article that you mentioned. I am not sure why I am getting "librdmacm: Fatal: unable to open RDMA device" and "[0] MPI startup(): cannot open dynamic library libdat2.so.2"

$ ldconfig -p | grep "librdmacm"
librdmacm.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/librdmacm.so.1

any feedback on this. when i run my mpi program using tmi option, it hangs for some time and then errors out. It hangs on MPI_Comm_spawn call in the code but when I use shm:tcp option, program works fine.

$ /opt/intel/impi/4.1.1.036/intel64/bin/mpirun -n 1 -perhost 1 -f ./mpd.hosts -env I_MPI_DEBUG 2 -env I_MPI_FABRICS shm:tmi ./parent

if i use shm:dapl option then it is not able to open RDMA device and I encounter the following issue:
