Dear All,
My parallel application ends when each process receives a msg, done in an
async way (but my question still arise if sync comm were used, see the ref to
the manpage). Senders call MPI_Finalize() after a call to MPI_Wait() and
receivers call MPI_Finalize() after having received the message.
An execution gives me that all proc finish as planned but I obtain the
following errors (times the number of processor used)
--------------------------------
With openMPI 1.4.2 compiled with gcc-4.5 on a Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm)
Processor 8356
*** The MPI_Finalize() function was called after MPI_FINALIZE was invoked.
*** This is disallowed by the MPI standard.
*** Your MPI job will now abort.
Abort after MPI_FINALIZE completed successfully; not able to guarantee that
all other processes were killed!
With openMPI 1.4.1 (debian package), Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
P9600
*** An error occurred in MPI_Finalize
*** after MPI was finalized
*** MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL (your MPI job will now abort)
Abort after MPI_FINALIZE completed successfully; not able to guarantee that
all other processes were killed!
---------------------------------
I think it comes from the fact that, as mentionned in the man of
MPI_Finalize():
For example, a successful return from a blocking communication opera-
tion or from MPI_Wait or MPI_Test means that the communication is com-
pleted by the user and the buffer can be reused, but does not guarantee
that the local process has no more work to do.
Nonetheless, if MPI_Finaliaze() is called before that the exchange of messages
really takes place, receivers wouldn't call their MPI_Finalize(), but would
just be issuing an abort thing, no?
Well, I'm perplex. When do I know when my proc can make the call to
MPI_Finalize() and obtain an execution without error messages?
Thank you for any help.
.Yves.
