So I created a hydra_pmi_proxy shell script as follows:

and I run the command:

./mpirun -f ./hosts -n 1 ./hellomic : -n 1 ./hello-host

in the hosts, I specified the mic0 and the host. Now I get the following error:

[proxy:unset@aster01] HYD_pmcd_pmip_get_params (pm/pmiserv/pmip_utils.c:701): server name not available

[proxy:unset@aster01] main (pm/pmiserv/pmip.c:169): bad parameters passed to the proxy

[mpiexec@aster01] HYD_pmcd_pmiserv_proxy_init_cb (pm/pmiserv/pmiserv_cb.c:445): assert (!closed) failed

[mpiexec@aster01] main (ui/mpich/mpiexec.c:344): process manager error waiting for completion

Please let me know if I am missing something.

Thanks,

Hello Mahdieh,

There was a related discussion recently: link<http://lists.mpich.org/pipermail/discuss/2015-September/004175.html>

You may try similar approach if I?ve got your question in the correct way.

BR,
Dmitry

Subject: [mpich-discuss] MPICH symmetric mode execution on Xeon Phi

Hi,

I'm trying to use MPICH to run a code in symmetric mode on Xeon Phi. First, I installed MPICH-3.1.4 with the following configuration for Xeon Phi:

./configure --prefix=/opt/new-mpich/mpich-3.1.4/1 --with-device=ch3:nemesis --host=x86_64 --build=x86_64-k1om-linux  CC=icc CXX=icpc --disable-f77 --disable-fc CFLAGS=-mmic CXXFLAGS=-mmic --disable-mcast --disable-fortran LDFLAGS='-L/home/ghazim/build/aster/intel/composer_xe_2015.3.187/compiler/lib/mic/ -Wl,-rpath,/home/ghazim/build/aster/intel/composer_xe_2015.3.187/compiler/lib/mic/'

With this configuration, I could successfully run a code in native mode on Xeon Phi. In order to run the code in symmetric mode, I installed MPICH once again, this time for the host with following configuration:

./configure --prefix=/opt/new-mpich-host/mpich-3.1.4/1

Then I compiled the code two times, once with -mmic option to make executable for Xeon Phi (from /opt/new-mpich/mpich-3.1.4/1) and once again without -mmic option to make executable for the host (from /opt/new-mpich-host/mpich-3.1.4/1). Now, my question is how I can run the program with these two executable from Xeon Phi and the host.

I know that MPICH supports running parallel programs with different executables with some devices like ch_p4, ch_mpl and globus2 using MPMD but I don't know how I can use this feature to run the code in symmetric mode on Xeon Phi and whether it is possible or not.

Thanks,
Mahdieh
