*id is same as myid
I am comparing the results by seeing the printed messages, given by the
printfs....
the recv_packet.rank is the rank of the sender that should be equal to
status.MPI_SOURCE but it is not.
I have updated the code a little bit, here is it.
if( (is_receiver == 1) && (is_sender != 1) )
{
printf("\nP%d >> Receiver only ...!!", myid);
printf("\n");
MPI_Recv(&recv_packet, 1, loadDatatype, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, MPI_TAG_LOAD,
comm, &status);
printf("\nP%d >> Received from P%d, packet contains rank: %d", myid,
status.MPI_SOURCE, recv_packet.rank);
printf("\n");
}
else if( (is_sender == 1) && (is_receiver != 1) )
{
load_packet.rank = myid;
load_packet.ld = load;
printf("\nP%d >> Sender only ...!! P%d", myid, rec_rank);
printf("\n");
MPI_Ssend(&load_packet, 1, loadDatatype, rec_rank, MPI_TAG_LOAD, comm);
}
else if( (is_receiver == 1) && (is_sender == 1) )
{
load_packet.rank = myid;
load_packet.ld = load;
printf("\nP%d >> Both ...!! P%d", myid, rec_rank);
printf("\n");
MPI_Sendrecv(&load_packet, 1, loadDatatype, rec_rank, MPI_TAG_LOAD,
&recv_packet, 1, loadDatatype, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, MPI_TAG_LOAD, comm,
&status);
printf("\nP%d >> Received from P%d, packet contains rank: %d", myid,
status.MPI_SOURCE, recv_packet.rank);
printf("\n");
}
here is the output
P11 >> Sender only ...!! P2
P14 >> Sender only ...!! P6
P15 >> Neither ...!!
P15 >> I could reach here ...!!
P8 >> Neither ...!!
P8 >> I could reach here ...!!
P1 >> Receiver only ...!!
P9 >> Sender only ...!! P0
P2 >> Receiver only ...!!
P10 >> Sender only ...!! P1
P3 >> Receiver only ...!!
P3 >> Received from P13, packet contains rank: 14
P0 >> Receiver only ...!!
P0 >> Received from P3, packet contains rank: 9
P4 >> Receiver only ...!!
P12 >> Neither ...!!
P12 >> I could reach here ...!!
P5 >> Both ...!! P3
P13 >> Sender only ...!! P4
P13 >> I could reach here ...!!
P6 >> Both ...!! P5
P7 >> Neither ...!!
P7 >> I could reach here ...!!
P14 >> I could reach here ...!!
P1 >> Received from P7, packet contains rank: 11
P1 >> I could reach here ...!!
P9 >> I could reach here ...!!
P2 >> Received from P11, packet contains rank: 13
P2 >> I could reach here ...!!
P0 >> I could reach here ...!!

But on the receiver sides, status.MPI_SOURCE is displayed (after
receiving message), but the value

Sorry, but I still don't see how you are detecting the mismatch. I assume
load_packet_rank some how relates to load_packet. But why are you setting it
to *id instead of myid? Also on the receive side I see no place where you pull
out the rank from the recv_packet to compare with status.MPI_SOURCE.

A "kernel" that I am talking about is a small piece of code someone can build
and run to see the problem.
See the code is very clear and it sends the message to "rec_rank" that was
displayed before sending the message. But on the receiver side the MPI_SOURCE
comes to be wrong.
>This shows to me that messages on the receiving sides are
captured on the basis of MPI_ANY_SOURCE, that seems like it does
not see the destination of message while capturing it from
message queue of the MPI system.

By virtue of MPI the MPI_Recv call should only return messages destined for
that rank. What makes you think that is not happening? Can you make some sort
of kernel of code that proves your theory that your MPI_Recv is receiving
another rank's message? If you can and then post that code maybe we'll be able
to figure out what the issue is.

So unless we have more than a broad description of the
problem it is going to be nearly impossible for us to tell
you what is wrong.
