[mpich-devel] MPICH with SYCL on Aurora

[Wozniak, Justin M.]

With MPIR_CVAR_REQUEST_ERR_FATAL=1 in a 2-process run, this looks like:

Abort(270742287) on node 0: Fatal error in internal_Waitall: Other MPI error, error stack:
internal_Waitall(126)..: MPI_Waitall(count=1, array_of_requests=0x797cdb0, array_of_statuses=0x7ca3fb0) failed
MPIR_Waitall(916)......:
MPIDI_IPC_rndv_cb(172).:
MPIDI_CMA_copy_data(54):
copy_iovs(202).........: process_vm_readv failed (errno 14)

Abort(270742287) on node 1: Fatal error in internal_Waitall: Other MPI error, error stack:
(same)

This succeeds for 1-process with SYCL enabled or for 2-process with SYCL disabled in the app at configure time.

The app looks like:

$ ldd =agent
        libmpicxx.so.0 => /lus/flare/projects/EpiCalib/sfw/mpich-5.0.0rc3/lib/libmpicxx.so.0 (0x0000146726aed000)

Hi
    I am trying to port a simulation ensemble workflow that runs ExaEpi/AMReX/SYCL to Aurora.  The outer workflow uses the system MPI and we use MPICH to run the app with node-local parallelism using a hand-built MPICH.  On Aurora, I get errors in early MPI calls that I think are due to SYCL.  This approach works on NVIDIA systems like Perlmutter.  Is there some simple way to make MPICH aware of SYCL?
    Thanks
