OpenBLAS blas_thread_init: pthread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable

I am facing a problem now, unable to run any program in the cluster. It gives error.

This problem, i assume to be same as this one Multiple instances of Python running simultaneously limited to 35

So according to the solution when I set export OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1

then I end up getting following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what():  Resource temporarily unavailable
Aborted

Is there anybody else facing same issue or has idea on how to solve this ? Thank you.

EDIT: Ok, Seems like this happened because of some config restrictions the admins were trying to implement. Now it works again.

Solution

I had this problem running numpy on an ubuntu server. I got all of the following errors, depending on whether I tried to import numpy in a shell or running my django app:

PyCapsule_Import could not import module "datetime" from
numpy.core._multiarray_umath import ( OpenBLAS blas_thread_init:
pthread_create failed for thread 25 of 32: Resource temporarily unavailable

I'm posting this answer since it drove me crazy. What helped for me was to add:

import os
os.environ['OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS'] = '1'

before

import numpy as np

I guess the server had some limit for the amount of threads it allows(?). Hope it helps someone!
