or:

[mpiexec@host1] wait_proxies_to_terminate (../../../../../src/pm/i_hydra/mpiexec/intel/i_mpiexec.c:389): downstream from host host2 exited with status 255

Cause

The remote hydra_pmi_proxy process is unavailable due to:

the host reboot;
an unexpected signal received;
out-of-memory manager (OOM) errors;
job termination by the Job Scheduler (PBS Pro*, SLURM*) in case of resources limitation (for example, walltime or cputime limitation).

Solution

Check the system log files.
Try to find the reason of the hydra_pmi_proxy process termination and fix the issue.
