<div class="">Hi Greg,<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks for you mail. The launching mechanism used on Cori and other<br class="">
XCs is not compatible with the way most of the fabtests need to be<br class="">
started. That said, we're working on getting the gni provider working<br class="">
in Cray Cluster Mode, which should make it easier to run the fabtests<br class="">
(hopefully almost a no op).<br class="">
...<br class="">
While we're on the topic, how could we have saved you the trouble of<br class="">
trying all this stuff? Documentation in the man page? Info on our<br class="">
wiki? Something else?<br class="">

<div class="">Hi Sung,</div>
<div class="">Well, I think it was more the case that I was familiar with libfabric on sockets and verbs, so I knew where the tests were and how to run them. I had also used them as example code for applications, so the making sure that the tests worked seemed
like a basic first step. I expected them to work in an interactive job on the compute nodes and didn’t find any documentation or notes that contradicted that belief. I had found the tests in the gni provider directory, but assumed that those were just additional
tests. <font face="Cambria" class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">It might be good to add a note in a README or something in fabtests that is somewhat easier for people to find to let them know what to expect. (That fabtests says NOTRUN instead
of failed is a bit of a clue, but that all the tests end up doing that without explanation isn’t so helpful.)</span></font></div>
