Source: esys-particle Version: 2.3.5+dfsg2-8 Hi Maintainer
Since the upload of 2.3.5+dfsg2-8, esys-particle has been failing its own autopkgtests in Ubuntu [1]. I've copied what I hope is the relevant part of the log below. I believe this is related to the dropping of '--oversubscribe' in a recent commit [2]. Regards Graham [1] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/esys-particle/plucky/amd64 [2] https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/esys-particle/-/commit/532ba2a390ba2050ebf06dac7249528d2ae89974 1482s There are not enough slots available in the system to satisfy the 3 1482s slots that were requested by the application: 1482s 1482s esysparticle 1482s 1482s Either request fewer procs for your application, or make more slots 1482s available for use. 1482s 1482s A "slot" is the PRRTE term for an allocatable unit where we can 1482s launch a process. The number of slots available are defined by the 1482s environment in which PRRTE processes are run: 1482s 1482s 1. Hostfile, via "slots=N" clauses (N defaults to number of 1482s processor cores if not provided) 1482s 2. The --host command line parameter, via a ":N" suffix on the 1482s hostname (N defaults to 1 if not provided) 1482s 3. Resource manager (e.g., SLURM, PBS/Torque, LSF, etc.) 1482s 4. If none of a hostfile, the --host command line parameter, or an 1482s RM is present, PRRTE defaults to the number of processor cores 1482s 1482s In all the above cases, if you want PRRTE to default to the number 1482s of hardware threads instead of the number of processor cores, use the 1482s --use-hwthread-cpus option. 1482s 1482s Alternatively, you can use the --map-by :OVERSUBSCRIBE option to ignore the 1482s number of available slots when deciding the number of processes to 1482s launch.
