MPI error when submitting a Job on Sun Grid Engine

[Kristian_G_]

I currently have a problem when trying to run mpiexec or mpiexec-hydra on a cluster using Sun Grid Engine to schedule jobs.

The errors that come up after running the mpiexec-hydra are the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 973, in ?

  File "<stdin>", line 465, in mpdboot

ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

error: commlib error: access denied (client IP resolved to host name "localhost.localdomain". This is not identical to clients host name "node038.cm.cluster")

error: executing task of job 1046000 failed: failed sending task to execd@localhost: can't find connection

And this is a job-script that I am using to run the mpi Job:

#!/bin/sh

#

# Your job name

#$ -N My_Job

#

# Use current working directory

#$ -cwd

#

# pe (Parallel environment) request. Set your number of processors here.

#$ -pe impi 24

#

# Run job through bash shell

#$ -S /bin/bash

# If modules are needed, source modules environment:

. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh

# Add any modules you might require:

module add shared

module load intel/compiler/64/11.1/046

module load intel/mpi/4.0.0.028

# The following output will show in the output file

echo "Got $NSLOTS processors."

cat $PE_HOSTFILE | awk '{print $1}' | sort -u | head -n 2 > hostfile.txt

# Run your application

env

export I_MPI_MPD_RSH=ssh

export I_MPI_HYDRA_DEBUG=on

export I_MPI_HYDRA_BOOTSTRAP=ssh

mpdboot  -n 2 --verbose -r /usr/bin/ssh -f $PE_HOSTFILE

mpiexec.hydra -np 2 pingpong2  > output_file.txt

Also I did not setup an .mpd.conf and mpd.hosts in my home account. Not sure if these files are generated when calling intel mpi.

When i run ps aux | mpd, no mpd is listed as running.

Thanks,

Kris

Question on Intel MPI are more likely to get answers on the companion Cluster and HPC forum.

I agree Tim.
@krigri:  I'll transfer this thread to the clusters/HPC forum at: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-clusters-and-hpc-technology for faster resolution.

Hi Kris,

As far as I see you use quite old Intel MPI Library 4.0. Is it possible for you to try latest (5.x) version?

BTW MPD related commands aren't necessary if you use mpiexec.hydra (Hydra process launcher). MPD and Hydra are two different MPI process launchers.
