Jeff,I'm afraid, I'm not familiar enough to dive into it. I suspect between the fact we have a working MPI implementation (MPICH) and the fact the this version of the pop model is superceded, it is probably
not worth the effort to spend a lot of time on it.
I was hoping that this was maybe a "typical" error that could be treated with different compiler switches
or that it mapped to a known bug/incompatability in OpenMPI. If this isn't the case it probably is best to drop it? Thanks for your offer to help though! Axel Jeff Squyres wrote:

The 1.2 to 2.0 transition involves a lot of physical differences and for a while at least we are stuck with 1.2.Gotcha.Can't say if there is a bug that was fixed since there was a lot of re-engineering going to 2.0. . But I do know that POP 1.2 works fine with the MPICH MPI implementation. Wouldn't you expect that a bad parameters would produce the same error with MPICH?Usually, but not always. Mostly, this involves problems with C codes, but it can happen in Fortran as well. Specifically, different run-time behaviors of MPI implementations can sometimes result in a code that runs under one MPI and not under another, typically (but not always) if the code makes some assumptions or violates the standard in some way.I see in OMPI's MPI_CART_SHIFT, we only return the "bad communicator" error if we get an invalid communicator or an intercommunicator. Are you familiar with the POP code at all to be able to dive into it to see where the problem is actually occurring?Thanks much Axel Jeff Squyres wrote:Looking at the web page for POP (http://climate.lanl.gov/Models/POP/ index.shtml), it looks like POP 1.2 is pretty ancient. I gather from your text that later versions work ok ("POP 2"). My first guess -- knowing nothing about the POP code itself -- is that there is a bug in the POP 1.2 code such that it is passing a bad parameter to MPI_CART_SHIFT, and that later versions (POP 2) fixed the problem. Do you know if this is the case?
