32- bit SDK for HPC Server 2008 fails --- "The procedure entry point GetProcessIdOfThread could not be located..."

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:16:08 Z

I'm wondering if anyone has run into the following with the RTM of the SDK for HPC Server 2008. I have various 64-bit MPI apps that run fine with the 64-bit version of the new SDK. But I wanted to do some demos under 32-bit Windows XP Pro, so I rebuilt the apps for 32-bit, installed the 32-bit SDK on the Windows XP machine, and then tried to run my apps via mpiexec:

mpiexec -n 4 MyMPIApp.exe

Immediately, a dialog pops up that says "The procedure entry point GetProcessIdOfThread could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll". I close the dialog, and the console window then displays:

ReadFile() failed, error 109
Error: unable to start the local smpd manager

I disabled the firewall, same result. Rebooted, same result. Installed MPI.NET and ran one of my MPI.NET apps, exactly the same error. If I uninstall, and install the SDK for Compute Cluster Pack, the error goes away. So something is up with the new SDK.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Dr. Hummel,
Thanks for the bug report, this is a real issue, we broke something when we fixed another bug. We're looking at how to fix this now, hopefully we can do it, it looks like to fix the original problem we used an API that is not supported on 32-bit Windows XP.
I'm sorry that we did not catch this before we shipped.
-Thanks, John Daly, HPC Test Manager.

Hi JohnDaly,

we encountered the same issue..

Any news, when the fix will to be released?

We are working on a little scientific project here but cannot finalize our results on Windows XP before the fix will be available.

Thanks!

The fix is now available for download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6415c650-78a3-4b6a-8264-b855173b14d8&DisplayLang=en

Thanks for your patience, this was the first SDK patch that we've needed to release so we spent a little extra time making sure that everything (backend stuff that will be applicable to any future SDK patch) was working correctly.

Hi Don Pattee,

I also got the same problem.

I have installed your patched now.

But this time i get the error from GetLogicalProcessorInformation, in the same error msg.

I am using Windwos XP Professional. And I have installed both Compute Cluster Pack SDK v1 and HPC Pack 2008 SDK with your Fix.

I have avg installed at my machine but I stopped it completely. Also I tried to build my app with both Compute Cluster pack and HPC SDK 2k8 but every time I got the same error.

Please help me.

Regards, Muhammad Zubair

Hi,

What Service Pack do you have installed with your Windows XP?
According to the documentation of GetLogicalProcessorInformation this function should be avilable with Windows XP SP3.
