openmp code : less processor than the available

Dear All,

I am running my Fortran 90 code in super-computing facility of our university. The max. available processor is 21, however my code is only uses 5 of them. I am using export_OMP_NUM_THREADS=20 however I dont define the stacksize after the compilation. 

Would you please let me know what should I investigate to understand the problem? The below information shows that the max. number of available threads are 21 and my code only used 5 of them.

Resource usage summary:

    CPU time :                                   2471026.00 sec.
    Max Memory :                                 351 MB
    Average Memory :                             74.98 MB
    Total Requested Memory :                     2560.00 MB
    Delta Memory :                               2209.00 MB
    Max Processes :                              5
    Max Threads :                                21

Your system administrator may have control over limiting the maximum number of threads any one process can use.

And for any one process the OMP_NUM_THREADS can be constricted by OMP_MAX_THREADS.

The report (my guess) indicates you may be running an MPI job with 5 processes (ranks), each process/rank using 21 threads. (5 * 21 threads in use).

TimP do you have any comments on this?

Dear Jim, This is an openmp code not the MPI. I guess there should be difference. The administrator tells me that I can use 20 with openmp code. However as I mentioned the code only uses 5 as the report shows. The job file that I use to submit my code is: 

#BSUB -J pfm
#BSUB -o pfm.o%J
#BSUB -e pfm.e%J
#BSUB -n 20
#BSUB -R "span[ptile=20]"
#BSUB -M 128
#BSUB -R 'rusage[mem=128]'
#BSUB -W 96:00
#BSUB -L /bin/bash
#BSUB -u 
#### queue : ada
#
module load intel/2015A
##
ifort -openmp -o a.out huh014_thienBC.f90
##
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=20
##
export FORT_FMT_RECL=215
##
./a.out

What does the following show?

CHARACER(LEN=100) :: VAL

!$OMP PARALLEL
WRITE(*,*) OMP_GET_THEAD_NUM()
!$OMP END PARALLEL
WRITE(*,*) "max threads", OMP_GET_MAX_THREADS()
WRITE(*,*) "num procs", OMP_GET_NUM_PROCS()
CALL GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE("OMP_THREAD_LIMIT",VAL)
WRITE(*,*) "OMP_THREAD_LIMIT",VAL
CALL GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE("KMP_ALL_THREADS",VAL)
WRITE(*,*) "KMP_ALL_THREADS",VAL

The answer is: 

max threads                    1

num procs                       20

OMP_THREAD_LIMIT      'blank'

KMP_ALL_THREADS       'blank'

I made a few edits.

Before running, set the environment variable

KMP_SETTINGS=true

This will display the OpenMP related environment variables prior to start of the main program.

Program

program NumThreads
    use omp_lib
    implicit none
    CHARACTER(LEN=100) :: VAL
    !$OMP PARALLEL
    !$OMP MASTER
    WRITE(*,*) "num threads",OMP_GET_NUM_THREADS()
    !$OMP END MASTER
    !$OMP BARRIER
    WRITE(*,*) OMP_GET_THREAD_NUM()
    !$OMP END PARALLEL
    WRITE(*,*) "max threads", OMP_GET_MAX_THREADS()
    WRITE(*,*) "num procs", OMP_GET_NUM_PROCS()
    CALL GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE("OMP_THREAD_LIMIT",VAL)
    WRITE(*,*) "OMP_THREAD_LIMIT",VAL
    CALL GET_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE("KMP_ALL_THREADS",VAL)
    WRITE(*,*) "KMP_ALL_THREADS",VAL
end program NumThreads
