Thread: multithreaded MPI with infiniband (mvapich2?)




multithreaded MPI with infiniband (mvapich2?)

Hi all (again) -

I just came to the realization that OpenMPI does not support a multithreaded model with infiniband.  I am looking into the openib-mvapich2, as mvapich appears to support both infiniband and multithreading simultaneously.  Unfortunately, I'm getting a blockage saying that it can't be used with the openib-userspace package.

Does anyone know of an easy way to resolve this? ;
Thanks!

My bad.
Fixed it.  Update your overlay.  You might have to
re-emerge
openib-userspace.  If so, sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Bryan -

Something strange is happening.  with --pretend, it seems that the blockage is gone, however, without it, I still get blockage:

burn openib-userspace # USE=rdma emerge -uDpv openib-mvapich2

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] sys-cluster/openib-mvapich2-1.0.1  USE="rdma threads -debug -large-cluster -medium-cluster" 0 kB [1]

Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage tree and overlays:
 [0] /usr/portage

burn openib-userspace # USE=rdma emerge openib-mvapich2

[ebuild  N    ] sys-cluster/openib-mvapich2-1.0.1  USE="rdma threads -debug -large-cluster -medium-cluster"
[blocks B     ] sys-cluster/openib-mvapich2 (is blocking sys-cluster/openib-userspace-1.2.5.1-r1 )

Sorry to be such a pain!
