Hi, Let me clarify something. There are two bulkTransfer optimizations. The useBulkTransfer is active by default and only deals with contiguous chunks of data. This is the one Akihiro is using and the one that fails in his code. Then, we have useBulkTransferStride that is off by default and that deal with strided arrays. I guess Akihiro did not enable that one, but is the one used by Rafael Larrosa and it fails in his code. So both, useBulkTransfer and useBulkTransferStride, can fail due to ibv-conduit bug.
Akihiro, if your assignment had involved a non-contiguous block of memory, Chapel would have not triggered the BulkTransfer function. If you set -useBultTransferStride=true, then the assignments that can benefit from strided communications will rely on bulkTransferStride runtime functions. Thanks, Rafa.
