I dabble in Fortran but am not an expert -- is REAL(kind=16) the same as REAL*16? MPI_REAL16 should be a 16 byte REAL; I'm not 100% sure that REAL(kind=16) is the same thing...?

Hi,

I'm trying to do an MPI_ALLREDUCE with quadruple precision real and
MPI_SUM and open mpi does not give me the correct answer (vartemp
is equal to vartored instead of 2*vartored). Switching to double precision
real works fine.
My version of openmpi is 1.2.7 and it has been compiled with ifort v10.1
and icc/icpc at installation

Here's the simple f90 code which fails:

program test_quad

   implicit none

   include "mpif.h"


   real(kind=16)             :: vartored(8),vartemp(8)
   integer                   :: nn,nslaves,my_index
   integer                   :: mpierror


   call MPI_INIT(mpierror)
   call MPI_COMM_SIZE(MPI_COMM_WORLD,nslaves,mpierror)
   call MPI_COMM_RANK(MPI_COMM_WORLD,my_index,mpierror)

   nn       = 8
   vartored = 1.0_16
   vartemp  = 0.0_16
   print*,"P1 ",my_index,vartored
call MPI_ALLREDUCE (vartored,vartemp,nn,MPI_REAL16,MPI_SUM,MPI_COMM_WORLD,mpierror)
   print*,"P2 ",my_index,vartemp

   stop

end program test_quad

Any idea why this happens?

Many thanks in advance!

J.
