I just updated mpiexec last week because an early version of my script was pausing for a considerable length of time after spawning 8, 16, 24... processes. I sent that earlier code to someone else and they said they didn't observe that behavior and they had mpiexec version 3.1 installed. So to solve an earlier bug, I installed the latest mpiexec. I only mentioned the mpich2 version because I saw there was an "mpich2version" command. It gives the 1.4.1 output. On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 4:37 PM, Jeffrey Larson <[email protected]> wrote:
Thank you for your response. Attached are the script and the simple function that it calls.
The command: $ mpiexec -n 3 python script.py works great, but 30 crashes.
I am using MPICH2 Version: 1.4.1. and mpiexec version 3.1.

Hi, Jeffrey,
Can you send us a minimum example of your script.py? Simple python scripts seem to work fine for me on both Mac and Ubuntu machines.
Also, what version of MPICH are you using? -- Huiwei Lu Postdoc Appointee Mathematics and Computer Science Division, Argonne National Laboratory http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~huiweilu/

Hello,
I am using mpi4py to call MPI from python, and when I increase the number of ranks at the command line so something like:
[jlarson@mintthinkpad test]$ mpiexec -n 30 python script.py
I receive the following error messages:
[mpiexec@mintthinkpad] handle_pmi_cmd (pm/pmiserv/pmiserv_cb.c:52): Unrecognized PMI command: | cleaning up processes [mpiexec@mintthinkpad] control_cb (pm/pmiserv/pmiserv_cb.c:280): unable to process PMI command [mpiexec@mintthinkpad] HYDT_dmxu_poll_wait_for_event (tools/demux/demux_poll.c:76): callback returned error status [mpiexec@mintthinkpad] HYD_pmci_wait_for_completion (pm/pmiserv/pmiserv_pmci.c:198): error waiting for event [mpiexec@mintthinkpad] main (ui/mpich/mpiexec.c:336): process manager error waiting for completion
When I search online for help with these error messages, I am only pointed towards the repository containing the files that are themselves throwing the error. For example: Googling for "handle_pmi_cmd Unrecognized PMI command" only returns:
https://svn.mcs.anl.gov/repos/mpi/mpich2/tags/release/mpich2-1.3a1/src/pm/hy...
Note that my script is using very few resources; each rank is spawning
a simple external function. The function takes a vector and then sums all the entries, squares them, and returns the number to each rank. The script works as expected when the number of initial ranks is small.
Thank you for your help. Jeffrey Larson _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] To manage subscription options or unsubscribe: https://lists.mpich.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
