[mpich-discuss] MPICH 3.4.1 and macOS 11.2 (aka Big Sur)

[Eric Borisch]

Yes: (Again, only testing locally)

$ MPIR_CVAR_OFI_SKIP_IPV6=1 mpiexec -np 2  ./cpi
Process 0 of 2 is on <HOSTNAME>
Process 1 of 2 is on <HOSTNAME>
pi is approximately 3.1415926544231318, Error is 0.0000000008333387
wall clock time = 0.000268

while without:

$ mpiexec -np 2  ./cpi
Assertion failed in file src/mpid/ch4/netmod/ofi/ofi_init.c at line
1988: mapped_table[i] != FI_ADDR_NOTAVAIL
Assertion failed in file src/mpid/ch4/netmod/ofi/ofi_init.c at line

0   libpmpi.12.dylib                    0x000000010d3e8b04
MPL_backtrace_show + 52

Thanks! I'll patch our installation to crowbar that to 1 for now, if
that seems reasonable.

Thanks,
  - Eric

If it is known that it will not yet work, that would be good information as well so not to spend anytime digging.
