Dear all:
I'm using mpi_iprobe to serve as a way to send signals between
different mpi executables. I'm using the following test codes (fortran):
#1
program send
implicit none
include 'mpif.h'
real*8 :: vec(20000)=1.0
integer :: ierr,i=0,request(1)
call mpi_init(ierr)
do
call mpi_isend(vec,20000,mpi_real8,
0,1,mpi_comm_world,request(1),ierr)
i=i+1
print *,i
vec=-vec
call usleep_fortran(2.d0)
call mpi_wait(request(1),MPI_STATUS_IGNORE,ierr)
end do
end program send
--------------------------------------------------
#2
program send
implicit none
include 'mpif.h'
real*8 :: vec(20000)
integer :: ierr
call mpi_init(ierr)
do
if(key_present()) then
call
mpi_recv(vec,20000,mpi_real8,1,1,mpi_comm_world,MPI_STATUS_IGNORE,ierr)
end if
call usleep_fortran(0.05d0)
end do
contains
function key_present()
implicit none
logical :: key_present
key_present = .false.
call
mpi_iprobe(1,1,mpi_comm_world,key_present,MPI_STATUS_IGNORE,ierr)
print *, key_present
end function key_present
end program send
-----------------------------------
The usleep_fortran is a routine I've written to pause the program for
that amount of time (in seconds). As you can see, on the receiving end
I'm probing to see whether the message has being received every 0.05
seconds, where each probing would result a print of the probing result;
while the sending is once every 2 seconds.
Doing
mpirun -np 1 recv : -np 1 send
Naturally I expect the output to be something like:
1
(fourty or so F)
T
2
(another fourty or so F)
T
3
however this is the output I get:
1
(fourty or so F)
T
2
(about a two second delay)
T
3
It seems to me that after the first set of probes, once the message was
received, the non-blocking mpi probe becomes blocking for some strange
reason. I'm using mpi_iprobe for the first time, so I'm not sure if
I'm doing something blatantly wrong.
