How to use MPI without NFS
You can use MPI without NFS or a shared file system! We had a situation where we couldn’t find the NFS server or client packages for arm64 for Ubuntu 16.04. We had OpenMPI version 1.10.2 installed on 2 nodes without NFS. When you use MPI without NFS, you need to ensure that the same version of MPI is installed by every node. Then, you have to ensure that the same data files, which include the program, hostnames file, and input files,...
How to Fix OpenMPI ORTE Error: unknown option “–hnp-topo-sig”
We encountered an ORTE bug with the error message, Error: unknown option “–hnp-topo-sig”, while using OpenMPI version 1.10.2 for arm64 on Ubuntu 14.04 server. More specifically, we ran the following command using 2 nodes with MPI: mpirun –hostfile /nfs/hostnames -n 4 /nfs/mpi-hello-world/mpi_hello_world

[tegra2-ubuntu:04159] Error: unknown option "--hnp-topo-sig" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORTE was unable to reliably start one or more daemons. This usually is caused by: * not finding the required libraries and/or binaries on one or more nodes. Please check your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings, or configure OMPI with --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default * lack of authority to execute on one or more specified nodes. Please verify your allocation and authorities. * the inability to write startup files into /tmp (--tmpdir/orte_tmpdir_base). Please check with your sys admin to determine the correct location to use. * compilation of the orted with dynamic libraries when static are required (e.g., on Cray). Please check your configure cmd line and consider using one of the contrib/platform definitions for your system type. * an inability to create a connection back to mpirun due to a lack of common network interfaces and/or no route found between them. Please check network connectivity (including firewalls and network routing requirements). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
ORTE errors can happen because of a variety of different things, but it’s usually because your mpirun is not the same version as your mpi compiler. Even if you think that you only have one MPI version, you may in...
How to Get Multiple Terminals on Ubuntu Server
Let’s say that you want multiple terminals on an Ubuntu server. If you have ever used the Ubuntu server version of the OS, you should know that it is maneuvered only through the terminal.

We needed multiple terminals, so that we could run multiple commands at the same time! If you...

You can also SSH to a series of machines if you have a switch with all the other machines connected to that switch through Ethernet cables. The switch is basically a...
How to Set Static IP on Ubuntu
To set the static IP address on Ubuntu, we want to first determine what network interfaces we currently have. These network interfaces represent the Infiniband or Ethernet ports on your computer. You will typically have an interface called eth0 or eth1 that allows you to connect to the Internet. Note, setting the static IP will allow you to connect to the Internet as long as the IP address is valid according to your DHCP server. If you set any static IP...
