Something odd is definitely going on here. I'm able to replicate your
problem with the intel compiler suite, but I can't quite figure out
why -- it all works properly if I convert the app to C (and still use
the MPI_REAL16 datatype with long double data).
George and I are investigating; I've opened a ticket on this:

Yes point to point communication is OK with quad prec. and one-way
reductions as well. I also tried my sample code on another platform
(which sports AMD opterons instead of Intel CPUs) with the same
compilers, and get the same *wrong* results with the call to
MPI_ALLREDUCE in quad prec, so it does not seem to be a machine bug.
Also altering a bit my sample code so as to replace MPI_SUM by
MPI_MAX in the call to MPI_ALLREDUCE works perfectly well in quad
prec !!!

I assume you've confirmed that point to point communication works
happily with quad prec on your machine? How about one-way
reductions?

Thanks for your suggestions.
I tried them all (declaring my variables as REAL*16 or REAL(16))
to no
avail. I still get the wrong answer with my call to MPI_ALLREDUCE.
I think the KINDs are compiler dependent. For Sun Studio
Fortran, REAL*16
and REAL(16) are the same thing. For Intel, maybe it's
different. I don't
know. Try running this program:
double precision xDP
real(16) x16
real*16 xSTAR16
write(6,*) kind(xDP), kind(x16), kind(xSTAR16), kind(1.0_16)
end
and checking if the output matches your expectations.

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?
