It looks like we goofed; we neglected to include F90 routines for the
CHARACTER type in the buffer. :-(
If I use include 'mpif.h', it compiles just fine.
This is because that will use the [exactly equivalent] F77 bindings
-- you just lose the type safety. Until we can fix the bindings, if
you need to use CHARACTER buffer types, this is probably the best
workaround.
Second topic:
I am using 3 processors
I am calling a series of MPI_SCATTER which work when I send
messages of
5 ko to the other processors, fails at the second scatter if I sent
messages of ~10 ko, and fails at the first scatter for bigger
messages.
The message is:
What is "ko" -- did you mean "kb"?
2 processes killed (possibly by Open MPI)
Could this be a problem of maximum allowed message size? Or of
buffering
space?
No, Open MPI should allow scattering of arbitrary sized messages.
Can you verify that your arguments to MPI_SCATTER are correct, such
as buffer length, the receive sizes on the clients, etc.?
Are any corefiles generated? Do you know which processes die?
