Re: [yt-dev] embarrassingly parallel analysis

Nevermind, it was something stupid, I didn't install mpi4py for this version of yt I was using, now it gives 1 and 0s for print ytcfg.getint("yt", "__global_parallel_rank") after installing mpi4py 1.3. From G.S. On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 4:59 PM, Geoffrey So wrote:

I can run parallelHOP in parallel, doesn't that mean I already have an mpi-capable interpreter?

Hi Geoffrey,

You may need to build an mpi-capable python interpreter by hand. See: http://mpi4py.scipy.org/docs/usrman/appendix.html#mpi-enabled-python-interpr...

Hi all, I was trying out pobj_demo.py from the workshop to see if I can parallelize my halo analysis script, but I ran into the problem where I see:

...

mpirun -n 2 python pobj_demo.py --parallel

gives a warning at the end

yt : [WARNING ] 2012-03-16 16:25:05,445 parallel_objects() is being used when parallel_capable is false. The loop is not being run in parallel. This may not be what was expected.

I've done a yt instinfo -u and got the latest tip:

052fac826701 (yt) tip

but the problem persists. I've tried printing inside the parallel loops

for sto, sp in parallel_objects(spheres, num_procs, storage = my_storage): print ytcfg.getint("yt", "__global_parallel_rank") sto.result = sp.quantities['TotalQuantity']('CellMass') sto.result_id = '%4e %4e %4e' % (sp.center[0], sp.center[1],sp.center[2])

and I always get "0", but 20 of them, so I'm guessing that confirms the loop isn't running in parallel, and just runs the 10 spheres serially on 2 processors, so I get double the results.

Am I doing something wrong or missed something?
