[mvapich-discuss] Segault on HDF5 1.10.4 "make check" with MVAPICH 2.3 compiled by GCC 8.2

[Subramoni, Hari]

Hi, Ryan.

Can you please let us know how you configured MVAPICH2 and how you built and ran HDF5 with the said version of MVAPICH2?

Unfortunately, we do not have GPFS locally. However, let me try to reproduce the problem locally.

Thx,
Hari.

Hi there,

I’m only seeing this particular failure with GCC 8.2, MVAPICH 2.3 (that’s the only version I’ve tried on though), and HDF5 1.10.4. GCC 4.8 and 7.4 both allow the make check on HDF5 to pass properly. All of this is on CentOS 7.5, compiling on GPFS 4.2 storage (I’ve seen some screwy FS-dependent things lately, so I mention it).

The below is what happens. Is there any more data I can gather to help with this? It appears as if it hangs for almost exactly 20 minutes each time and something whacks it. A successful run is only 2-3 seconds long. Note that a running a “sleep 1800” (30 minutes) does not do this. Either related or not, the combination of OpenMPI 3.1.3 and GCC 4.8 (but not 7.4 or 8.2) does a similar thing, but on the t_mpi test, not t_filters_parallel, and without mentioning the signal 11 (that might just be they way they present errors being different — don’t know):

I’m launching the tests via srun via make check with these options:

RUNPARALLEL = srun --mpi=pmi2 --mem=12G -p main -t 1:00:00 -n6 -N1

HDF5 make check when it gets to the sticking point:
