Fire and evac error while running in parallel processing #2005

Closed gforney closed 9 years ago

gforney commented 9 years ago 
Please complete the following lines...

FDS Version:6
SVN Revision Number:14299
Compile Date:Thu, 20 Dec, 2012
Smokeview Version/Revision:6.0.11
Operating System:Window 8

Describe details of the issue below:
I wish to run my evac and fire simulation in parallel processing but somehow I got
the error message (see attached) whenever I start my parallel processing in the same
computer. I am using mpich2 version 1.4.1p1. For other fire simulation only with evac
it run just fine without any error message. Attached is my FDS file. 

Regards,
Koh

PS: I can run the FDS file without error by serial processing.

Well, how do you start you fire+evacuation simulation?
PNG figure => seems that you have 8 processes, 
processes 0-6 for fire meshes (7 fire meshes) and
the process 8 for the (two) evacuation meshes.

So, do the tests:

Put on the MISC-namelist: EVACUATION_DRILL=.TRUE.
Run the file with one processor, because you have
just the evacuation meshes now active.

Put on the MISC-namelist: EVACUATION_DRILL=.FALSE.,
NO_EVACUATION=.TRUE.
Run the file with 7 processors, i.e., the seven fire
meshes only.

Put NO_EVACUATION=.FALSE., EVACUATION_DRILL=.FALSE.
and run the file with 8 processors.

If the two first ones work and the third fails, then
try the latest version of FDS 6.

Btw, I can not right now do any debugging, because they
reinstalled Windows on my computer. So, I have not yet
had time to install everything once again, this takes
a couple of days...

Hi Timo, 

Actually this is my first try to run fire and evac simulation together (Never done
thie before). Wish to run more further complicated model to see how does smoke affect
the evacuation of the occupants. So not sure if I am doing it correctly. 
I tried the first two both of it work. For the third it failed on latest version of
FDS6 as well for SVN Revision Number:17279 Compile Date:Sun, 03 Nov, 2013 on my Window
8. 
Thanks.

Regards,
Koh

Well, now I have installed Cygwin on my laptop so I'm
able to use our Linux cluster once again. So, I'll try
your input file for a coupled fire+evacuation calculation.
I'll use the version:

SVN Revision Number: 17481
Compile Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013

This is the version that I have on the Linux cluster right now.
I have still to put up the svn stuff for my laptop...

The mpi version works fine in our Linux cluster, see below.
The input file is attached, I took out radiation (to speed up)
and added vector slice output for the evacuation mesh. I used
the case, where you have seven fire meshes and one evacuation mesh.

The mpi command was:

mpiexec -n 8 ~/FDS_Source_Latest/fds_mpi_intel_linux_64 Phase1_Timo_mpi.fds > Phase1_Timo_mpi.err
2>&1

(The "2>&1" is a bash-shell redirction for the stderr channel to stdout channel.)

I'll close this issue as "UnVerified". This is some months
old issue already and seems to be a computer problem rather
than a source code problem.
