mpi4py irecv 导致段错误

Question

我运行遵循使用命令 mpirun -n 2 python -u test_irecv.py > output 2>&1.

将数组从 rank 0 发送到 1 的代码

from mpi4py import MPI
import numpy as np

comm = MPI.COMM_WORLD
asyncr = 1
size_arr = 10000

if comm.Get_rank()==0:
    arrs = np.zeros(size_arr)
    if asyncr: comm.isend(arrs, dest=1).wait()
    else: comm.send(arrs, dest=1)
else:
    if asyncr: arrv = comm.irecv(source=0).wait()
    else: arrv = comm.recv(source=0)

print('Done!', comm.Get_rank())

运行在同步模式下与 asyncr = 0 给出预期的输出

Done! 0
Done! 1

但是运行在异步模式下 asyncr = 1 给出如下错误。我需要知道为什么它在同步模式下运行正常，而在异步模式下运行不正常。

输出 asyncr = 1:

Done! 0

===================
-------------------------------------------------------
Primary job  terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.
-------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun noticed that process rank 1 with PID 420871 on node nia1477 exited on signal 11 (Segmentation fault).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

版本如下：

Python: 3.7.0
mpi4py: 3.0.0
mpiexec --version 给出 mpiexec (OpenRTE) 3.1.2
mpicc -v 给出 icc version 18.0.3 (gcc version 7.3.0 compatibility)

运行 asyncr = 1 在另一个系统中 MPICH 给出了以下输出。

Done! 0

mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

显然这是 mpi4py 中的一个已知问题，如 https://bitbucket.org/mpi4py/mpi4py/issues/65/mpi_err_truncate-message-truncated-when 中所述。 Lisandro Dalcin 说

The implementation of irecv() for large messages requires users to pass a buffer-like object large enough to receive the pickled stream. This is not documented (as most of mpi4py), and even non-obvious and unpythonic...

解决方法是将足够大的预分配 bytearray 传递给 irecv。一个工作示例如下。

from mpi4py import MPI
import numpy as np

comm = MPI.COMM_WORLD
size_arr = 10000

if comm.Get_rank()==0:
    arrs = np.zeros(size_arr)
    comm.isend(arrs, dest=1).wait()
else:
    arrv = comm.irecv(bytearray(1<<20), source=0).wait()

print('Done!', comm.Get_rank())
