HCOLL-related failures in OpenMPI applications
Several applications using OpenMPI, including HDF5, Boost, Rmpi, ORCA, and CP2K, may fail with errors such as
mca_coll_hcoll_module_enable() coll_hcol: mca_coll_hcoll_save_coll_handlers failed
or
Caught signal 11: segmentation fault
We have identified that the issue is related to HCOLL (Hierarchical Collectives) being enabled in OpenMPI.
STAR-CCM+ MPI job failure
STAR-CCM+ encounters errors when running MPI jobs with Intel MPI or OpenMPI, displaying the following message:
ib_iface.c:1139 UCX ERROR Invalid active_speed on mlx5_0:1: 128
This issue occurs because the UCX library (v1.8) bundled with STAR-CCM+ only supports Mellanox InfiniBand EDR, while Mellanox InfiniBand NDR (Next Data Rate) is used on Cardinal. As a result, STAR-CCM+ fails to communicate correctly over the newer fabric.
