Re: [ptp-user] parallel debugging with pbs interactive node

Thomas,

If you update to the latest version you'll automatically get the new resource managers. Just point your update site at http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/builds/indigo/sr2.

Also, make sure the Debugger Tab is correctly configured: The 'Path to debugger executable' field must point to an sdm that has been compiled on your machine, and the 'Debugger session address' must be 'localhost'. There is a bug in this version that may lead to the session address being blank.

I've run the debugger on 1024 processes before, so 256 should be fine.

hi Greg,

yes i can start an interactive job on multiple nodes 
 qsub -I -l nodes=2:ppn=32
i get a $PBS_NODEFILE nodefile containing the two nodes

mpirun -np 64 hostname

shows me that it runs the job across multiple nodes

i will try the edu.illinois.ncsa.forge.pbs.interactive.openmpi resource manager
do i need the dev version of ptp for that? or can i just add that resource manager to my existing ptp install?


how scalable is the debugger? will i be able to debug a job with 256 processes for instance?

thanks
Thomas

Thomas,

Are you able to run an MPI job on multiple nodes from the command line using Open MPI? You need to get this working first.

Regards,
Greg

i made some progress.

i start an interactive session on the cluster
open a reverse ssh tunnel to my local machine and start a local openmpi resource manager.
so far so good i can run and debug applications on a single node on the cluster.
However i cant figure out how to run on multiple nodes.
when i start a parallel debug session ptp writes a routing_file file in my run dir that contains only references to the current node.

i seems that i cannot provide my own host file.

thanks
Thomas

dear all,

i try to run a parallel debug session through the interactive pbs resource manager.
launching a parallel debug session with the interactive resource manager results in an error message

Configuration is missing run commands for job submission <some number> debug

i found two post in the mailing list dealing with this same issue but no solution

i can run jobs through this resource manager without a problem
and i can also start a remote parallel debugging session using the openmpi resource manager.


some system info
(Open MPI) 1.4.2
org.eclipse.ptp.linux.x86_64_5.0.4.201111121445/

thanks
Thomas
