Hi,

I am having problem running MPICH, on multiple nodes. When I run an
multiple MPI processes on one node, it totally works, but when I try to run
on multiple nodes, it fails with the error below.
My machines have Debian OS, Both infiniband and TCP interconnects. I'm
guessing it has something do to with the TCP network, but I can run openmpi
on these machines with no problem. But for some reason I cannot run MPICH
on multiple nodes. Please let me know if more info is needed from my side.
I'm guessing there are some configuration that I am missing. I used MPICH
3.1.3 for this test. I googled this problem but couldn't find any solution.

​In my MPI program, I am doing a simple allreduce over MPI_COMM_WORLD​.

​my host file (hosts-hydra) is something like this:
oakmnt-0-a:1
oakmnt-0-b:1​

​I get this error:​

$ mpirun -hostfile hosts-hydra -np 2  test_dup
Assertion failed in file ../src/mpi/coll/helper_fns.c at line 490:
