Thanks to all of your friends. It was my mistake. Actually the problem was
somewhere else very far away. When I made a separate file for you, it was
working fine. Then I understood that the problem is somewhere else. I found
that problem. Thanks to all of you people.

I have to agree with Jeff, we really need a complete program to really debug
this. Note, without really seeing what the structures look like it is hard to
determine if maybe there is some type of structure mismatch going between
recv_packet and load_packet. Also the output you show seems incomplete in that
not all data transfers are being shown so it is kind of hard to determine if
packets are possibly being dropped or what.
I agree the output looks suspicious but it still leaves a lot to
interpretation without really seeing a complete code.
Sorry,

Every sender displays this "rec_rank" and it should correctly. But on the
receiver sides, status.MPI_SOURCE is displayed (after receiving message), but
the value
is not matching with the expected sender's rank.

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. regards,

text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; Format="flowed" Well MPI_Recv does give you
the message that was sent specifically to
the rank calling it by any of the processes in the communicator. If you
think the message you received should have gone to another rank then
there is a bug somewhere. I would start by either adding debugging
printf's to your code to trace the messages. Or narrowing down the
code to a small kernel such that you can prove to yourself that MPI is
working the way it should and if not you can show us where it is going
wrong. --td On 7/15/2011 6:51 AM, Mudassar Majeed wrote:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; Format="flowed" Mudassar, You
can do what you are asking. The receiver uses MPI_ANY_SOURCE for
the source rank value and when you receive a message the
status.MPI_SOURCE will contain the rank of the actual sender not the
receiver's rank. If you are not seeing that then there is a bug
somewhere. --td On 7/14/2011 9:54 PM, Mudassar Majeed wrote:

the sender knows to which receiver the message is to be sent. The
receiver does not know from which sender the message will come. I am
trying to do a research work on load balancing in MPI application
where load is redistributed, so in that I require a receiver to
receive a load value from a sender that it does not know. On the other
hand, the sender actually calculates, to which receiver this load
value should be sent. So for this, I want sender to send a message
containing the load to a receiver, but receiver does not know from
which sender the message will come. See, it is like send receiver in
DATAGRAM sockets. The receiver, receives the message on the IP and
port, the message which was directed for it. I want to have same
behavior. But it seems that it is not possible in MPI. Isn't it? regards,

*Subject:* Re: [OMPI users] Urgent Question regarding, MPI_ANY_SOURCE. Right.
I thought you were asking about receiving *another* message
from whomever you just received from via ANY_SOURCE. If you want to receive
from a specific sender, you just specify the
rank you want to receive from -- not ANY_SOURCE. You will always only receive
messages that were sent to *you*.
There's no MPI_SEND_TO_ANYONE_WHO_IS_LISTENING functionality, for
example. So your last statement: "But when it captures with ..
MPI_ANY_SOURCE and MPI_ANY_TAG, the receiver will capture any message
(even not targetted for it)" is incorrect. I guess I still don't understand
your question...? On Jul 14, 2011, at 9:17 PM, Mudassar Majeed wrote:

MPI_Recv function seems to capture message from the queue with some
search parameters like source, tag etc. So in case the receiver does
not know the sender and wants to receive only that message which was
sent for this receiver. But when it captures with source as
MPI_ANY_SOURCE and MPI_ANY_TAG, the receiver will capture any message
(even not targetted for it).

But I want B to receive message from process A (the one who actually
sends the message to process B). But if I use MPI_ANY_SOURCE, then any
message from any source is captured by process B (let say there are
other processes sending messages). Instead of MPI_ANY_SOURCE I cannot
use A in the source argument as B does not know about the sender. What
should I do in this situation ?
