The code can be compiled without any problem, but however it failed when running (maybe invalid memory access?). There must be some problem with the windows version MPI_Allreduce since it works fine if I remove that line. And it also works if I make the matrix smaller. I tried it on a Ubuntu machine with same version MPI as well. No problem in Linux.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To make the question clear, I added MPI_Allreduce into a hello world code. The code is written in F90.
