Hi Anyi,

you are using reduce incorrectly: you cannot use the same buffer as input and output. If you want to do operation in place, you must specify "MPI_IN_PLACE" as send buffer at the root process.
Thus, your code should look something like:
--------
  int* ttt = (int*)malloc(2 * sizeof(int));
  ttt[0] = myworldrank + 1;
  ttt[1] = myworldrank * 2;
  if (root == myworldrank) {
     MPI_Reduce(MPI_IN_PLACE, ttt, 2, MPI_INT, MPI_SUM, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
  } else {
     MPI_Reduce(ttt, NULL, 2, MPI_INT, MPI_SUM, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
  }
  FOR_WORLDNODE0 printf("%d, %d\n" , ttt[0],ttt[1]);
--------

hope this helps,
Jelena
PS. If I remember correctly the standard, you must specify send buffer on non-root nodes - it cannot be MPI_IN_PLACE (if you try it - you'll get segfault).

Hi,
 I have a code which have a identical vector on each node,  I am going to do
the vector sum and return result to root.  Such like this,

 int* ttt = (int*)malloc(2 * sizeof(int));
 ttt[0] = myworldrank + 1;
 ttt[1] = myworldrank * 2;
  MPI_Allreduce(ttt, ttt, 2, MPI_INT, MPI_SUM, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
 FOR_WORLDNODE0 printf("%d, %d\n" , ttt[0],ttt[1]);

 myworldrank is the rank of local node, if I run this code under 4 nodes, what
I expect  return is 10,12. But what I got is 18,24. So I'm confused here on
MPI_Reduce, is that supposed to do the vector sum ?
 I tried MPI_Allreduce, it gave me the correct answer 10, 12.

 Is there someone met the same problems or I am wrong on calling MPI_Reduce()

 Thanks.
Anyi
