mpififo - inter-node named pipes over MPI ========================================= mpififo is an MPI-based middleware that allows processes in a Unix pipeline to execute on different nodes in a compute cluster via named pipes. SUPPORTED PLATFORMS =================== ipcmd requires the following environment: * POSIX * C compiler supporting C99 * OpenMP 2.5 * MPI implementation supporting MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE (tested with MPICH 3.0.4) CONTENTS ======== CHANGES - Visible changes in the current version and previous versions Makefile - POSIX Makefile README - This file containing basic information & installation instructions TODO - Wish list of future modifications mpififo.c - source code tests - Tests scripts run by "make check" INSTALLATION ============ 1. (Optional) Edit the Makefile, customize the CC and/or CFLAGS macro for your environment (CC and CFLAGS can also be overridden on the command-line as demonstrated below). 2. Issue the "make" command to build mpififo make [CC=...] [CFLAGS=...] 3. Submit a batch script or interactive job (e.g., "qsub -I" for PBS/TORQUE) that runs the test scripts (MPICH w/ Hydra process manager only): make check [NODES=1] [NPROC=4] By default, a single node & 4 processes are used. USAGE ===== [mpiexec] mpififo [-crv] writefifo1 readfifo1 [writefifo2 readfifo2...] -c : create fifos upon startup -r : remove fifos after mpififo exits -v : verbose output to stderr (for debugging) See the web site and publication for more information. WEB SITE ======== https://bitbucket.org/nathanweeks/mpififo PUBLICATION =========== Weeks N, Kraeva M, Luecke G. Parallelization of software pipelines using the mpififo tool. Cluster Computing (CLUSTER), 2013 IEEE International Conference on. [In Press] Poster presented at IEEE CLUSTER 2013: http://weeks.public.iastate.edu/files/mpififo_poster.pdf KNOWN ISSUES ============ To terminate the execution of all mpififo processes, one of the mpififo processes must be manually killed. As this is typically done by a job scheduler upon completion of a job, this can be automated by running mpififo asynchronously ("in the background") in the job script, without wait()'ing on it. This issue will be addressed in a future release. Deadlocks have been observed with OpenMPI 1.7.2. This seems to be an issue with OpenMPI's support for MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE, rather than a bug in the mpififo code. BUGS ==== Please report any bugs in the issue tracker at the web site.
