Hi,
I am trying to use intercommunicator ::Allgather between two child process. I have fortran and Python code, I am using mpi4py for python. It seems that ::Allgather is not working properly in my desktop. I have contacted first mpi4py developers (Lisandro Dalcin), he simplified my problem and provided two example files (python.py and fortran.f90, please see below). We tried with different MPI vendors, the following example worked correclty( it means the final print out should be array('i', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]) ) However, it is not giving correct answer in my two desktop (Redhat and ubuntu) both using OPENMPI Could yo look at this problem please?
