Applications such as Quantum ESPRESSO, LAMMPS, and NWChem experienced hangs with MVAPICH 3.0 due to a PMI mismatch. MVAPICH 3.0 was built with PMI-1, while newer Slurm versions on RHEL 9 use PMI-2. Although the development team states that using the PMI-1 interface with Slurm’s PMI-2 implementation should work, there may be a bug in MVAPICH 3.0.
Update 2025-12-17
We have upgraded the MVAPICH software stack from version 3.0 to MVAPICH 4.1. We highly recommend switching to MVAPICH 4.1 and the associated toolchains to avoid potential PMI mismatch issues.
