Some tests using MPI fail due to insufficient number of slots

Created by: keichi

These tests fail on my laptop with the recent version of ADIOS2:

Error message:

1: --------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: There are not enough slots available in the system to satisfy the 4 slots
1: that were requested by the application:
1:   /Users/keichi/Projects/research/ADIOS2/build/bin/heatTransfer_write_adios2
1:
1: Either request fewer slots for your application, or make more slots available
1: for use.
1: --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A workarounds that I found is to edit the cmake file (e.g. examples/heatTransfer/TestBPFileMx1.cmake) and reduce the number of requested MPI processes or add the --oversubscribe flag.

  • ADIOS2 4c6e11f7
  • MPI: Open MPI 3.1.1
  • OS: macOS 10.13.4 (17E202)
  • CPU: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 (2 cores, 4 threads)

Thanks.
