Hello all, I'm working on an HPC. And on that HPC an old version of Boost was installed and that boost library doesn't have Boost.MPI. I requested from Admins to install it on the HPC. But they requested from me to install it on my home directory. So i installed both boost and boost.mpi on my home directory. Boost library seems to work ...
When attempting to run the first example in the boost::mpi tutorial, I was unable to run across more than two machines. Specifically, this seemed to run fine: mpirun -hostfile hostnames -np 4 boost1 with each hostname in hostnames as <node_name> slots=2 max_slots=2. But, when I increase the number of processes to 5, it just hangs. ...
I want to distribute a vector with overlapping elements. For example, if I had [1,2,3], I'd want [1,2] to get sent to one node, and [2,3] to get sent to another. I'm familiar with how to do this using MPI, but how would I do this using Boost::MPI? ...
I'm searching an autoconf macro to use in my configure.ac that checks for Boost MPI. It's not hard to find a couple of them on the Internet but none of the one I tried worked as expected. What ax_boost_mpi.m4 do you use? EDIT: I'll explain my requirement better. I need the macro to tell me if Boost MPI is available or not (defining HA...
I have some parallel code (implemented using MPI) that needs to be documented. I'd like to have a flow-diagram describing it's high-level strategy. What kind of diagram do you use to describe send, receive, broadcast, gather, reduction and other operations? (EDIT: I'm equally interested in Linux/LaTeX software to do them) ...
Hello, I am totally a novice in Multi-Core Programming, but I do know how to program C++. Now, I am looking around for Multi-Core Programming library. I just want to give it a try, just for fun, and right now, I found 3 APIs, but I am not sure which one should I stick with. Right now, I see Boost's MPI, OpenMP and TBB. For anyone who h...
I am trying to run a program with Boost MPI, but the thing is I don't have the .lib. So I try to create one by following the instruction at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html#mpi.config The instruction says "For many users using LAM/MPI, MPICH, or OpenMPI, configuration is almost automatic", I got my...
I am following instructions at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html#mpi.config trying to build Boost MPI .lib files, but I got one problem: I do not have mpic++. Looking at the MPI implementation files such as MPICH2 and Open MPI, I see no mpic++ included at all. Where can I find mpic++? ...
I want to send my Array class using boost Mpi template<class T> class Array { private: int size; T* data; public: // constructors + other stuff }; Here T can be any built in type or user defined type. Suppose I have a class complex struct complex { std::vector<double> real_imag; // contain two elements }; So the question i...
hi All These days I am approaching MPI world. I am willing to use Boost MPI libraries probably with OpenMPI or MPICH2 ( even if with MPICH2 still I am not sure whether it will work fine because of some post I read around ). My real question is the following: with these 2 libraries and Boost MPI on top of it, is it possible to combine r...
I am relatively new to using Boost MPI. I have got the libraries installed, the code compiles, but I am getting a very odd error - some integer data received by the slave nodes is not what was sent by the master. What is going on? I am using boost version 1.42.0, compiling the code using mpic++ (which wraps g++ on one cluster and icpc o...
