Hello everyone i'm working on a project for university that involves using the MPI library, unfortunatly i cannot share the entire code but i hope somebody will be able to give me some pointers regardless. I need to send an array from proc X to proc 0, however as i've read on google the only way to send a dinamycally created array is to find out the size, send the size to Proc 0 and only then send the array (i'm not able to predetermine the size of it),so this is what i did on Proc X:
vector<int> tosend = aglib.ExtractEvaluationFunctions();
int tosend_size = tosend.size();
MPI_Send(&tosend_size, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 666, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
MPI_Send(&tosend, tosend_size, MPI_INT, 0, 777, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
this is what happens on Proc 0(i cannot share the same buffer as the vector tosend is locally created in Proc1 each time):
vector<int> results_and_rank;
int results_rank_size;
MPI_Recv(&results_rank_size, 1, MPI_INT, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, 666, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
MPI_Recv(&results_and_rank, results_rank_size, MPI_INT, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, 777, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
cout << "size of results_and_rank is :"<< results_and_rank.size()endl;
cout<< "last element of array is :"<< results_and_rank.back()<<endl;
i think communication works fine as i'm able to read the size of the received vector which is identical to the one i sent, however my code crashes whenever i try to access an element of the array results_and_rank thus crashing on the last print. By the way i need to use blocking communication for the purpose of my project.
Am i missing something? thank you for your time and help.
You want to send/receive the data to the vector, thus you need the data inside the vector, not the vector itself.
Here you pass the address of std::vector
itself to the MPI_Recv()
, which will corrupt the std::vector
.
MPI_Recv(&results_and_rank, results_rank_size, MPI_INT, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, 777, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
Correct way:
Sender:
MPI_Send(&tosend[0], tosend_size, MPI_INT, 0, 777, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
Receiver:
results_and_rank.resize(results_rank_size);
MPI_Recv(&results_and_rank[0], results_rank_size, MPI_INT, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, 777, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
