Hi
all,
I would like to write a multi-thread parallel program. I used pthread.
Basicly, I want to create two background threads besides the main
thread(process). For example, if I use "-np 4", the program should have
4 main processes on four processors and two background threads for each
main process. So there should be 8 threads totally.
Wouldn't there be 4 main threads and 8 "slave" threads for a total of
12 threads? Anyhow, doesn't matter.
I'm not sure where you're starting, but you should at least have a
basic understanding of the different sorts of multithreaded programming
models in MPI. One is that each process is single threaded. Another
is the processes are multithreaded, but only the main thread makes MPI
calls. Another is multithreaded, but only one MPI call at a time.
Finally, there can be full multithreading. You have to decide which of
these programming models you want and which is supported by your MPI
(or, if OMPI, how OMPI was built).
For more information, try the MPI_Init_thread() man page or
http://www.mpi-forum.org./docs/mpi21-report.pdf ... see Section 12.4 on
"MPI and Threads".
I wrote a test program and it worked unpredictable.
Sometimes I got the result I want, but sometimes the program got
segmentation fault. I used MPI_Isend and MPI_Irecv for sending and
recving. I do not know why? I attached the error message as follow:
[cheetah:29780] *** Process received signal ***

I used gdb to "bt" the error and I got :

So can anyone give me some suggestions or advice. Thanks very much.
