[mvapich-discuss] program hanged using mvapich with large number of processes

[Dhabaleswar Panda]

Can you try the latest nightly tarball of the bugfix branch version of
MVAPICH2 1.4 (from the following URL) and let us know whether the issue
persists.

http://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu/nightly/mvapich2/branches/1.4

I am also assuming that you are using the OpenFabrics-Gen2 interface of
this release. Please confirm.

Thanks,

DK
