Hi Rolf,
yes, same issue ...
i attached a patch to the github issue ( the issue might be in the test).
From the standards (11.5 Synchronization Calls) :
"TheMPI_WIN_FENCE collective synchronization call supports a simple
synchroniza-
tion pattern that is often used in parallel computations: namely a
loosely-synchronous
model, where global computation phases alternate with global
communication phases."
as far as i understand (disclaimer, i am *not* good at reading standards
...) this is not
necessarily an MPI_Barrier, so there is a race condition in the test
case that can be avoided
by adding an MPI_Barrier after initializing RecvBuff.
could someone (Jeff ? George ?) please double check this before i push a
fix into ompi-tests repo ?
Cheers,
Gilles

Folks,
i (sometimes) get some failure with the c_accumulate test from the ibm
test suite on one host with 4 mpi tasks
so far, i was only able to observe this on linux/sparc with the vader btl
here is a snippet of the test :
MPI_Win_create(&RecvBuff, sizeOfInt, 1, MPI_INFO_NULL,
MPI_COMM_WORLD, &Win);
SendBuff = rank + 100;
RecvBuff = 0;
/* Accumulate to everyone, just for the heck of it */
MPI_Win_fence(MPI_MODE_NOPRECEDE, Win);
for (i = 0; i < size; ++i)
MPI_Accumulate(&SendBuff, 1, MPI_INT, i, 0, 1, MPI_INT, MPI_SUM, Win);
MPI_Win_fence((MPI_MODE_NOPUT | MPI_MODE_NOSUCCEED), Win);
when the test fails, RecvBuff in (rank+100) instead of the accumulated
value (100 * nprocs + (nprocs -1)*nprocs/2
i am not familiar with onesided operations nor MPI_Win_fence.
that being said, i found suspicious RecvBuff is initialized *after*
MPI_Win_create ...
does MPI_Win_fence implies MPI_Barrier ?
if not, i guess RecvBuff should be initialized *before* MPI_Win_create.
makes sense ?
(and if it does make sense, then this issue is not related to sparc,
and vader is not the root cause)
Cheers,
Gilles
