Re: [O-MPI devel] MPI question
Guys I'll take care of that. When I was working on the examples for the
tutorial here at Euro PVM I notice a similar problem with MPI_Waitsome.

Re: [O-MPI devel] MPI question
MPI_Testsome return MPI_UNDEFINED only when in the set of requests there
are no more active requests. Basically at this point the array of requests
(in your example) should contain only MPI_REQUEST_NULL. I check the
different possibilities inside, and I'm pretty confident that we are
correct from the MPI standard point of view. I run your test example and
the behaviour was correct. Moreover, it never miss one request.
Can you forward me your exact example to see what was wrong inside ?
Thanks,
george.

Re: [O-MPI devel] MPI question
Yes, I found a bug in my code that was causing the problem. I was
setting the first argument of MPI_Testsome() to the number of
outstanding sends, rather than the total number of sends. It seems to
be working now, though I notice that MPI_Testsome() always returns 1
for count.
Thanks for your help,
Greg

-32766 is Open MPI's value for MPI_UNDEFINED. This is what is
returned
when there are no active requests in the array that is passed to
MPI_TESTSOME (see MPI-1.1:.
Just to verify that this behavior isn't a bug, can you confirm
some
things:
- is count > 1?
- if more than one request finished in that single call to
MPI_TESTSOME
where completed was returned with a value of 1 (e.g., multiple
requests
in your array turned into MPI_REQUEST_NULL), then this is a bug --
i.e., completed should return an accurate value.

However, I have a question about the MPI_Testsome() call. I'm
using
MPI_Testsome() to check the completion status of a number of
outstanding ISend() requests. I'm doing something like this:
int outstanding;
main()
{
tids = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * count);
stats = (MPI_Status *)malloc(sizeof(MPI_Status) * count);
reqs = (MPI_Request *) malloc(sizeof(MPI_Request) * count)
do_sends();
outstanding = count;
while (outstanding > 0)
check_completed();
}
do_sends()
{
for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
MPI_ISend(buf, len, MPI_CHAR, i, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD,
&reqs
[i]);
}
check_completed()
{
int completed;
if (MPI_Testsome(count, reqs, &completed, tids, stats) !=
MPI_SUCCESS) {
printf("error in testsome\n");
exit(1);
}
outstanding -= completed;
}
The thing is, MPI_Testsome() returns with completed = 1 the first
time I call it, then completed = -32766 the second time I call
it. It
always returns MPI_SUCCESS though.
Does anyone know what's going on? Am I doing something dumb?
Thanks,
Greg
