I guess your output is from different ranks. YOu can add rank infor
inside print to tell like follows:
(void) printf("rank %d: gathered[%d].node = %d\n", rank, i,
gathered[i].node);
>From my side, I did not see anything wrong from your code in Open MPI
1.4.3. after I add rank, the output is
rank 5: gathered[0].node = 0
rank 5: gathered[1].node = 1
rank 5: gathered[2].node = 2
rank 5: gathered[3].node = 3
rank 5: gathered[4].node = 4
rank 5: gathered[5].node = 5
rank 3: gathered[0].node = 0
rank 3: gathered[1].node = 1
rank 3: gathered[2].node = 2
rank 3: gathered[3].node = 3
rank 3: gathered[4].node = 4
rank 3: gathered[5].node = 5
rank 1: gathered[0].node = 0
rank 1: gathered[1].node = 1
rank 1: gathered[2].node = 2
rank 1: gathered[3].node = 3
rank 1: gathered[4].node = 4
rank 1: gathered[5].node = 5
rank 0: gathered[0].node = 0
rank 0: gathered[1].node = 1
rank 0: gathered[2].node = 2
rank 0: gathered[3].node = 3
rank 0: gathered[4].node = 4
rank 0: gathered[5].node = 5
rank 4: gathered[0].node = 0
rank 4: gathered[1].node = 1
rank 4: gathered[2].node = 2
rank 4: gathered[3].node = 3
rank 4: gathered[4].node = 4
rank 4: gathered[5].node = 5
rank 2: gathered[0].node = 0
rank 2: gathered[1].node = 1
rank 2: gathered[2].node = 2
rank 2: gathered[3].node = 3
rank 2: gathered[4].node = 4
rank 2: gathered[5].node = 5
Is that what you expected?
