Troubleshooting

Intel® MPI Library Developer Guide for Linux* OS
This section provides the troubleshooting information on typical MPI failures with corresponding output messages and behavior when a failure occurs.
If you encounter errors or failures when using the Intel® MPI Library, take the following general troubleshooting steps first:
  1. Check the
    System Requirements
     section and the
    Known Issues
     section in the
    Intel® MPI Library Release Notes
    .
  2. Check accessibility of the hosts. Run a simple non-MPI application (for example, the
    hostname
     utility) on the problem hosts using
    mpirun
    . For example:
    $ mpirun -ppn 1 -n 2 -hosts node01,node02 hostname node01 node02
    This may help reveal an environmental problem (such as, the MPI remote access mechanism is not configured properly), or a connectivity problem (such as, unreachable hosts).
  3. Run the MPI application with debug information enabled: set the environment variables
    I_MPI_DEBUG=6
     and/or
    I_MPI_HYDRA_DEBUG=on
    . Increase the integer value of debug level to get more information. This action helps narrow down to the problematic component.
  4. If you have the availability, download and install the latest version of Intel MPI Library from the official product page and check if your problem persists.
  5. If the problem still persists, you can submit a ticket via Intel® Premier Support or ask experts on the community forum.

Product and Performance Information

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
