I have looked into your log file, but it seems that the real error happened in other process, not rank 0. The socket of rank 0 was closed because the other process died. Can you send us log files of other processes? And, can you also send us the execution result with "-print-all-exitcodes” option? For example, mpiexec -machinefile nodes -np $NUMPROCS -print-all-exitcodes $EXEC -mpich-dbg=file -mpich-dbg-class=all -mpich-dbg-level=verbose -print-all-exitcodes option will show the exit codes for each process.

I don't see any error message from your log file. Anyway, let's try with MPICH DEBUG messages. As described inhttps://wiki.mpich.org/mpich/index.php/Debug_Event_Logging, first configure MPICH with "--enable-g=dbg,log" to enable event logging and built it. For example, $ ./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR --enable-g=dbg,log $ ./make -j8 $ ./make install Then, execute your application with additional options, "-mpich-dbg=file -mpich-dbg-class=all -mpich-dbg-level=verbose." With the recent MPICH, you don't need to use mpdboot. Just execute your application with mpiexec like: mpiexec -machinefile nodes -np $NUMPROCS $EXEC -mpich-dbg=file -mpich-dbg-class=all -mpich-dbg-level=verbose This will generate log files, such as dbg0-xxxx.log, dbg1-xxxx.log, etc. Since the log files may be large, it would be difficult to send them to us. If so, please take a look at each file, find error messages, and send the error message to us. And, if you can reproduce the same error with small code, it will be really helpful to figure out your problem. Could you write a simplified code and send us the code?

You can check the environment settings with ulimit -a. And, you may find some information about your error from dmesg.

Increased all nodes memory to 32 gb 3. Exchanged the rank 1 to different node in the parallel. In all situations, I am getting this error. Surprisingly, when I am running smaller (less data intensive runs), I am not getting this error even if I increase the NUMPROCS to 32 processes. Any help will be highly appreciated.
