Building cuda aware openMPI does not seem to work

[PhilipDeegan]

with version 5.0.2 from https://download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v5.0/openmpi-5.0.2.tar.bz2
UCX v1.15.0 from https://github.com/openucx/ucx

Using the guide at https://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=buildcuda
but without gdrcopy

always results in the support for cuda showing false, yet the extension modules lists cuda

ompi_info --parsable --all | grep mpi_built_with_cuda_support:value
mca:mpi:base:param:mpi_built_with_cuda_support:value:fals

ompi_info | grep 'MPI ext'
          MPI extensions: affinity, cuda, ftmpi, rocm

adding --with-cuda-libdir=/usr/local/cuda/lib64 to ./configure doesn't work either

this is not in the doc https://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=buildcuda

but is supposedly necessary from #12264

Check out https://docs.open-mpi.org/en/v5.0.x/tuning-apps/networking/cuda.html#how-do-i-build-open-mpi-with-cuda-aware-support. These docs aren't the greatest, but I think they should solve your issue. FWIW, @janjust is looking at improving the situation so that --with-cuda-libdir isn't necessary.

in this linked article there seems to be some conflicts

show different methods, and for me the first is what I see when I build, but not the second, so I will just try and test the binaries to see if it works or not

@janjust @hppritcha FYI -- might want to make these docs better / more clear.

testing out the attempted cuda aware libmpi I get a segfault

This same code does indeed work for the OpenMPI ROCM version

ok I got it working

it appears that the --with-cuda-libdir=...

must be --with-cuda-libdir=/usr/local/cuda/lib64/stubs

and not --with-cuda-libdir=/usr/local/cuda/lib64
