MPI Segmentation fault in MPI_Isend()

Question

I'm new to MPI programming! I tried to measure the point-to-point communication bandwidth beetween to processors for practical. But now I get a Segmentation Fault! I don't understand why this is happen. I also tried valgrind on ubuntu, however no idea. So maybe someone can help me :D

thanks for the fast response, but this doesn't change the problem :( I just updated the error!

Here the source code

#include "mpi.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

 int myrank, size;
 MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
 MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &myrank);
 MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);

 int *arraySend = (int *)malloc(25000*sizeof(int));
 int *arrayRecv = (int *)malloc(25000*sizeof(int));
 double startTime = 0.0, endTime = 0.0;
 MPI_Status status,statusSend, statusRecv;
 MPI_Request requestSend, requestRecv;

 if(size != 2){
   if(myrank == 0){
       printf("only two processors!\n");
       MPI_Finalize();  
       return 0;
    }
 }

 if(myrank == 0){
     startTime = MPI_Wtime();
     MPI_Send(&arraySend, 25000, MPI_INT, 1, 0,MPI_COMM_WORLD);
 }else{
     MPI_Recv(&arrayRecv, 25000, MPI_INT, 0, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
 } 

 if(myrank == 0){
   endTime = MPI_Wtime();
   printf("100k Bytes blocking: %f Mb/s\n", 0.1/(endTime-startTime));
   startTime = MPI_Wtime();
   MPI_Isend(&arraySend, 25000, MPI_INT, 1, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &requestSend);
   MPI_Wait(&requestSend, &statusSend);
  }else{
   MPI_Irecv(&arrayRecv,25000,MPI_INT,0,0,MPI_COMM_WORLD, &requestRecv);
   MPI_Wait(&requestRecv, &statusRecv);
  }

 if(myrank == 0){
    endTime = MPI_Wtime();
    printf("100k Bytes non-blocking: %f Mb/s\n", 0.1/(endTime-startTime));
 }
 free(arraySend);
 free(arrayRecv);
 MPI_Finalize();
 return 0;
}

and here the error updated!

Did you see any difference in the speed between the blocking operations and the combination of non-blocking operations followed imeddiately by a waits? — Hristo Iliev

The size of your passed array is wrong.

sizeof(arraySend) should be simple 25000 as MPI automatically deduct the size as you define the Datatype (here MPI_INT). Only if you have a bit array you normally need sizeof() in your code.

Try to allocate the memory on the stack instead of the heap, e.g instead of:

 int *arraySend = (int *)malloc(25000*sizeof(int));

use:

int arraySend[25000];

and then use arraySend instead of &arraySend in your mpi calls.

If you could use C++ you can also use the nice boost mpi headers where the size is automatically calculated from the passed data.

Also &arraySend is not a pointer to the allocated memory, but a pointer to the pointer of type int *. It's a problem too.

if you are using a decent mpi implementation, you can use mpirun -gdb, more doc here
