Are you able to update the MPICH version? MPICH 3.2.1 was released in 2017 and is no longer actively supported/maintained.

Hi, We are hitting following assertion: Assertion failed in file .. . nemesis/netmod/tcp/socksm. c at line 600: hdr. pkt_type == MPIDI_NEM_TCP_SOCKSM_PKT_ID_INFO || .. . I looked at the assert and it looks like this in file …/nemesis/netmod/tcp/socksm. c ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart This Message Is From an External Sender This message came from outside your organization. ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Hi, We are hitting following assertion: Assertion failed in file ...nemesis/netmod/tcp/socksm.c at line 600: hdr.pkt_type == MPIDI_NEM_TCP_SOCKSM_PKT_ID_INFO || ... I looked at the assert and it looks like this in file …/nemesis/netmod/tcp/socksm.c MPIU_Assert(hdr.pkt_type == MPIDI_NEM_TCP_SOCKSM_PKT_ID_INFO || hdr.pkt_type == MPIDI_NEM_TCP_SOCKSM_PKT_TMPVC_INFO); We have tried multiple cores/partitions from 2 to 8 and the behaviour is same. Also a process is aborted and a message appears to suggest that. Mostly it's process 0 which is aborted but I have seen other processes as well reporting the crash. We are using mpich-3.2.1. I'm trying to understand possible causes for this error? I have explored the forum and no possible causes, like machine going out of memory etc are applicable here. Please suggest. Are there any debug/log/trace options I can use with mpiexec to further root cause? Regards Tarun
