Software

A threading code with MPI where MPI_Init_thread uses MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE will fail because UCX from HPCX package is built without enabling multi-threading. UCX is the default framework for OMPI 4.0 and above. 

Affects versions

Owens: openmpi/4.0.3-hpcx, openmpi/4.1.2-hpcx, penmpi/4.1.4-hpcx
Ascend: openmpi/4.1.3

Updated on 09/08/2022:

Users can choose the project code from a dropdown list to use. 

Original Post:

Users of weld predictor software in ondemand will receive an error when trying to start these jobs.

The error shows:

Simulation failed to be submitted ... sbatch:error job failed to be submitted
Job invalid: must specify account for job
sbatch error

Workaround

Create file ~/.slurm/defaults and add entry for account.

Please do not run any Jupyter applications at OSC until further notice due to a security vulnerability.

OSC will update JupyterLab and Jupyter Notebook applications to rectify this as soon as possible.

List of versions changed:

• 0.35: removed because there is no official patch release.
• 1.2: upgraded to 1.2.21
• 2.1: replaced with 2.2.10 because there is no official patch release.
• 3.0: upgraded to 3.0.17

We found mpiexec/mpirun from OpenMPI can not be used in an interactive session (launched by sinteractive) after upgrading Pitzer and Owens to Slurm 20.11.4. Please use srun only while you use OpenMPI in an interactive session.
