[mpich-discuss] MPI_Iprobe bug in MPICH for BGQ?

[Antonio J. Peña]

Hi Florin,

 

I don’t think you’re hitting any bug, and I’d say both behaviors are
correct. Note that when you do a sleep the MPI implementation is not making
any progress, so if the Isend call didn’t push the message immediately to
the network, which is likely to be more the case on an HPC network than on a
socket-based one, the sleep is unproductive, and so the Iprobe returns
nothing arrived.

 

Best,

  Toni

Subject: [mpich-discuss] MPI_Iprobe bug in MPICH for BGQ?

 

Hi, 

when I run the program from below on 1 node on BGQ (Vesta), the message is
not received (flag is 0). However on a Ubuntu, the message is received (flag
is non-zero). 

If I add another Iprobe (uncomment the Iprobe in the code below) the message
is received on both BGQ and Ubuntu. Note that the program sleeps for 1
second after the Isend. Is it a bug? 

This happens for both MPICH-3.1.3 and MPICH-3.1.


#include "mpi.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  int send_int, recv_int, tag, flag;
  MPI_Status status;
  MPI_Request req;

  MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);

  tag = 0;
  send_int = 100;
  MPI_Isend(&send_int, 1, MPI_INT, 0, tag, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &req );
  sleep(1);

  MPI_Iprobe(MPI_ANY_SOURCE , MPI_ANY_TAG, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &flag, &status );
  //MPI_Iprobe(MPI_ANY_SOURCE , tag, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &flag, &status );
  if (flag) {
    MPI_Recv( &recv_int, 1, MPI_INT, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, tag, MPI_COMM_WORLD,
&status);
    printf("Received = %d\n", recv_int);
  }
  else
    printf("Message not received yet");

  MPI_Waitall(1, &req, MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE);

  MPI_Finalize();
  return 0;
}

Thanks
Florin
