Hi there.
I have an application in which I need to terminate a process anytime due an
external command. In order to maintain the consistence of the processes, I
need to receive the messages that were already sent to the terminating
process. I used the MPI_Iprobe to check whether there is messages to be
received, but I noticed that I have to call this function twice. Otherwise
it does not work properly. The code bellow exemplifies what happens. Can
anyone help me? Is there another way to do what I need?
Thanks in advance.
#include "mpi.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int rank, size, i;
MPI_Status status;
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
if (size < 2) {
printf("Please run with two processes.\n"); fflush(stdout);
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
if (rank == 0) {
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
MPI_Send(&i, 1, MPI_INT, 1, 123, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
}
}
if (rank == 1) {
int value, has_message;
MPI_Status status;
sleep (2);
*// Code bellow does not work properly*
MPI_Iprobe(0, 123, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &has_message, &status);
while (has_message) {
MPI_Recv(&value, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 123, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
printf("Process %d received message %d.\n", rank, value);
MPI_Iprobe(0, 123, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &has_message, &status);
}
*// Calling MPI_Iprobe twice for each incoming message makes the code work.*
/*
MPI_Iprobe(0, 123, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &has_message, &status);

MPI_Recv(&value, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 123, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
