Partial progress. The scientist that developed the model took a look at the output and found that instead of one model run being ran in parallel srun had ran multiple instances of the model, one per thread, which for this test was 110 threads. I have a feeling this just verified the same thing that

I tried a simple thing of swapping out mpirun in the sbatch script for srun. Nothing more, nothing less. The model is now working on at least two nodes, I will have to test again on more but this is progress. Thanks, Chris Woelkers IT Specialist National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency Great Lakes

Thanks all for the ideas and possibilities. I will answer all in turn. Paul: Neither of the switches in use, Ethernet and Infiniband, have any form of broadcast storm protection enabled. Chris: I have passed on your question to the scientist that created the sbatch script. I will also look into o

Hi Chris, Your issue sounds similar to a case I ran into once, where I could run jobs on a few nodes, but once it spanned more than a handful it would fail. In that particular case, we figured out that it was due to broadcast storm protection being enabled on the cluster switch. When the first n

We're running multiple clusters using Bright 8.x with Scientific Linux 7 (and have run Scientific Linux releases 5 and 6 with Bright 5.0 and higher in the past without issues on many different pieces of hardware) and never experienced this. But some things to test : - some implementations pref
