Hi MPICH users
I am trying to run a meteorological simulation with RAMS model (
http://vandenheever.atmos.colostate.edu/vdhpage/rams.php)
in a new cluster with CentOs7 in all nodes. We have other applications
running fine in the cluster, sending processes to each node,...
everything seemd to run fine.
But
the RAMS model freezes at its first stage on the parallel run. RAMS
developers recommend using mpich2-1.4.1 as they have successfully
tested. If I try to run a parallel simulation in the master node it runs
fine and starts the required number of processes. If I try to use the
other nodes the simulation freezes, do not stop with any error message;
RAMS model processes appear in all used nodes and in the master node but
any output is created and the usual status messages from RAMS do not
appear on screen.
The commnad line to run the model is
[paco@Llamp RUN]$ time ../misc/mpich2-1.4.1/bin/mpirun -verbose -machinefile mpd.hosts -n 20 ./rams-6.2.03 -f RAMSIN
I have also compiled and tried to run with mpich 3.0.4 but it behaves exactly the same way.
Log messages with -verbose option for both mpich2-1.4.1 and mpich3.0.4 can be found at
cpi example runs fine with both mpich instances
Thanks in advance for your help and best regards
