Hi Håkan,

can you try attached argList.C and let me know whether that helps?

Hi Mattijs,

mpiexec can read the arguments from a file, and I tried that. However, the arguments in the file are just added as flags to the mpiexec command and we're back where we started.

I'll test your argList.C on monday when I get back to work.

If it doesn't work, is there any problem just removing the FatalError.exit() as long as I make sure that I start my computations correctly (giving the correct flags and arguments)?

Thanks for your efforts.
Håkan.

It probably will set the root and case incorrectly.

Hi Mattijs,

Actually, removing FatalError seemed to work and set the root and case correctly.

Your argList.C above also seems to work, so I will stick to that one. What I am not really sure about is if you actually truncate argv? Then the extra flags are not needed by MPI_Init inside OpenFOAM? Or is MPI_Init run before argList.C?

It now seems like I don't have to do addValidParOptions for the extra flags, so there is still no check of consistency for those flags. But I can live with that.

Thanks for your help!
Håkan.

Thanks for testing.

The 'rule' is that MPI_Init strips off any of its arguments (which it added to start up the job). So after MPI_Init we should have a clean argument list.

You should now not need those extra addValidParOptions in your mpi/Pstream.C

Hi,

What is the difference between MPICH and Lam? Does MPICH has a better performance than LAM?
Thanks!

Pei

The problem with additional flags to mpiexec was solved when using Mattijs argList.C file in the previous entry:

Dear Friends

I am using OF1.3. want to change from LAM to MVAPICH. i did the following

1) export WM_MPLIB=MPICH in bashrc
2) set all path to the MVAPICH library in .bashrc

But i get this error when i do wmake libso in /src/Pstream/


/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/topspin/mpi/mvapich/gnu/lib/libmpich.a(probe.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/topspin/mpi/mvapich/gnu/lib/libmpich.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/home/kri_kuma/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/lib/linuxAMD64Gcc4DPOpt/mpich/libPstream.s o] Error 1

///////////////////////////////////

There is only a libmpich.a in /mvapich/lib

what should i do ?

Thanks a lot in advance

These are just guesses:

1. Try to link against a shared library (file extension *.so) as opposed to a static on (*.a). In other words build the MPI library with --with-shared or whatever is the appropriate argument. If you're linking against a pre-built library, try to see if you can find whether it was build with 'shared library' suppprt.
2. Make sure that WM_64 is set to on (assuming you are in 64 bit mode).
