While using the BLACS test programs, I've seen that with recent SVN checkouts (including todays) the MPI_Abort test left procs running. The last SVN I have where it worked was 1.4a1r20936. By 1.4a1r21246 it fails.
Works O.K. in the standard 1.3.2 release. A test program is below. GCC was used. DM #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <math.h> #include <mpi.h> #define NUM_ITERS 100000 /* Prototype the function that we'll use below. */ static double f(double); int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int iter, rank, size, i; int foo; double PI25DT = 3.141592653589793238462643; double mypi, pi, h, sum, x; double startwtime = 0.0, endwtime; int namelen; char processor_name[MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME]; /* Normal MPI startup */ MPI_Init(&argc, &argv); MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size); MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank); MPI_Get_processor_name(processor_name, &namelen); printf("Process %d of %d on %s\n", rank, size, processor_name); /* Do approximations for 1 to 100 points */ /* sleep(5); */ for (iter = 2; iter < NUM_ITERS; ++iter) { h = 1.0 / (double) iter; sum = 0.0; /* A slightly better approach starts from large i and works back */ if (rank == 0) startwtime = MPI_Wtime(); for (i = rank + 1; i <= iter; i += size) { x = h * ((double) i - 0.5); sum += f(x); } mypi = h * sum; if(iter == (NUM_ITERS - 1000)){ MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD); if(rank == 2){ MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD, -1); } else { /* Just loop */ foo = 1; while(foo == 1){ foo = foo + 3; foo = foo - 2; foo = foo - 1; } } } MPI_Reduce(&mypi, &pi, 1, MPI_DOUBLE, MPI_SUM, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD); } /* All done */ if (rank == 0) { printf("%d points: pi is approximately %.16f, error = %.16f\n", iter, pi, fabs(pi - PI25DT)); endwtime = MPI_Wtime(); printf("wall clock time = %f\n", endwtime - startwtime); fflush(stdout); } MPI_Finalize(); return 0; } static double f(double a) { return (4.0 / (1.0 + a * a)); }
