Hi, On Linux with R 3.5.1 and OpenMPI 2.1.0 I have built Rmpi and can run a simple example just using Rmpi and printing out the rank of each worker. However, when I try to use doMPI by running the following library(Rmpi) library(doMPI) cl <- startMPIcluster(count=2) registerDoMPI(cl) clusterSize(cl) closeCluster(cl) mpi.quit() with mpirun -np 1 --mca mpi_warn_on_fork 0 R --no-save -f mwe.r I get the following output > library("Rmpi") > library(doMPI) Loading required package: foreach Loading required package: iterators > cl <- startMPIcluster(count=2) 2 slaves are spawned successfully. 0 failed. > registerDoMPI(cl) > clusterSize(cl) [1] 2 > closeCluster(cl) but the program hangs and I have to end it with Ctl-C. Can anyone shed any light on what might be wrong? Cheers, Loris -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universit?t Berlin Email loris.bennett at fu-berlin.de
