Hello all,

I have an issue with running a Charm++ app with charmrun, both in SMP and non-SMP modes, for example:

./charmrun ++p 2 my_app app_options

./charmrun +p2 my_app app_options

./charmrun my_app app_options

There is a nodelist file in the same directory containing the following information:

group main ++shell ssh

host pacini004

host pacini005

host pacini006

The program generates a 1D chare array with two elements:

CProxy_Array a = CProxy_Array::ckNew(arr_size); // Array class constructor has no arguments

The first chare in the array works fine, but the the other reports segmentation violation:

------------- Processor 1 Exiting: Caught Signal ------------

Reason: segmentation violation

Suggestion: Try running with '++debug', or linking with '-memory paranoid'

(memory paranoid requires '+netpoll' at runtime).

Fatal error on PE 1> segmentation violation

What may cause such an issue? The program works in the standalone mode (./my_app app_options).

Besides, I’m trying to use charmrun with debugging options (./charmrun  ++ssh-display ++debug-no-pause), but it hangs waiting for the client to connect:

Charmrun> charmrun started...

Charmrun> using ./nodelist as nodesfile

Charmrun> adding client 0: "pacini004", IP:10.10.1.4

Charmrun> Charmrun = 173.36.252.226, port = 56750

start_nodes_rsh

Charmrun> Sending "0 173.36.252.226 56750 20113 0" to client 0.

Are there any other options I should use for debugging?
