Hi Ken,<br><br>Thanks for the swift reply, and for the reminder.<br>forgot to try out the mpirun before trying it out in pvserver.<br>tried a very simple "hello world" mpi job today. (to no avail)<br><br>at first, i thought it was because of the difference of 192 and 202 domain which causes the pause, then i applied hamachi (vpn tool) to all the nodes, giving them a uniform LAN domain IPs, but still the pauses happens when reaching np > 10. <br>
<br>that all boils down to my openmpi build? but i am able to run >10 nps pvserver with the same openmpi build when having the nodes when in a LAN environment (not using hamachi)..<br><br>no worries, i'm using the cvs version of the paraview build. (it states "paraview 3.7 development" at the title window)<br>
<br><br>thanks again for all your advice in advance.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 10:06 PM, Moreland, Kenneth <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kmorel@sandia.gov">kmorel@sandia.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I count 10 cores in the 192.168 domain. My suspicion is that MPI is having a problem when running with more than 10 processes and therefore having to run on nodes in both 192.168 and 202.185. <br>
<br>
My advice is to first make sure that you can run any MPI job across all the nodes in your makeshift cluster. Do this using a test MPI program that is simpler than pvserver. Most MPI implementations come with a set of tests. If you can’t find any on your system, there are many available for download; here is a good site: <a href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/mpi-test/tsuite.html" target="_blank">http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/mpi-test/tsuite.html</a><br>
<br>
By the way, are you really running a program called pvclient? There has been no such executable since ParaView 2.6, which was released 2 years ago. If that is the case, I recommend updated to the latest version of ParaView.<br>

<br>
am trying to utilize some desktops in our lab (say "lab A") to visualize some virtual heart.<br>
on top of that, there are also some unused desktop from other lab ("lab B") which i plan to add in as the server.<br>
below are my "hostfile" used during mpirun.<br>
<br>
192.168.0.10 slots=4 max-slots=4<br>
192.168.0.220 slots=2 max-slots=2<br>
192.168.0.205 slots=2 max-slots=2<br>
192.168.0.249 slots=2 max-slots=2<br>
202.185.77.219 slots=2 max-slots=2<br>
202.185.77.220 slots=2 max-slots=2<br>
202.185.77.221 slots=2 max-slots=2<br>
<br>
as we can see, the 192.168... series are from lab A and the 202.185.. series are from lab B.<br>
the experiment started off fine as i'm also using a desktop from lab A (192.168.. series) to connect to the server.<br>
when we reach np 11, the paraview (pvclient) fails to response when we try to establish a connection with the server.<br>
<br>
are we missing out anything here?<br>
<br>
appreciate all your response and answer in advance <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
