Re: [Pypar-developers] question about installing pypar [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi Thomas

>From what you are saying the problem lies with your MPI system.
The first thing to do is to test a simple C or Fortran based MPI program such as network_timing.c or other examples like that.
If that can't run, there is no point in trying pypar.

Perhaps you could try OpenMPI which seems to be the most developed MPI implementation at present.

I have CC'd this to the pypar mailing list so that others can chime in.

Cheers
Ole

Subject: question about installing pypar

Dear Oli,

I'm trying to install pypar on a windows machine with MPICH and visual studio 2003. I'm not having much luck though
mpirun -np 2 demo.py consistently returns


"C:\projects\pypar_2.1.0_66\demos>mpirun -np 2 demo.py
Unable to launch 'C:\projects\pypar_2.1.0_66\demos\demo.py', error 8: CreateProcess failed: Not enough storage is available to process this command."

This appears to have something to do with the thread stack size, but I'm not really sure.

I fell back to trying to compile network_timings.c (to try to test the mpich instalation) with the commands

cl network_timing.c /MD "/Ic:/program files/mpich/SDK/include" /Foa.obj
link a.obj "/LIBPATH:c:/program files/mpich/SDK/lib" mpich.lib

but this just results in the error message

C:\Documents and Settings\pou036\Desktop\shared>mpirun -localonly -np 2 a.exe
Wait for process 0 to write port to temporary file timed out

I was just wondering if you had any suggestions...
Cheers,

Thomas.

PS: as you can see I'm not really familiar with MPI on Windows and compilation issues...
