<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to debug an error I am getting when using the HDF5 viewer. I am working on NERSC systems, and they have a precompiled hdf5 (module cray-hdf5-parallel). When I linked petsc libraries to their hdf5 libraries, it gives the following error at run time when I tried to do a ISView:</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>Rank 0 [Sat Jul 2 15:34:48 2016] [c0-0c0s15n0] Fatal error in MPI_Type_create_hindexed: Invalid argument, error stack:</div><div>MPI_Type_create_hindexed(150): MPI_Type_create_hindexed(count=1, array_of_blocklengths=0x478b1e0, array_of_displacements=0x478b200, MPI_BYTE, newtype=0x7fffffff3598) failed</div><div>MPI_Type_create_hindexed(98).: Invalid value for blocklength, must be non-negative but is -1927660792</div></div><div><br></div><div>The hdf5 version on NERSC is 1.8.16 but the version that PETSc downloaded when using --download-hdf5 is 1.8.12. So, could the error be due to this difference? I also see the above error only when the length of the IS is big (tested for about 200M total entries, using 1024 cores).</div><div><br></div><div>I don't have these errors when I used --download-hdf5=1 during configure step. However, while I was able to use --download-hdf5=1 on Edison, PETSc was not able to compile hdf5 libraries properly on Cori. The OS of Cori was recently updated. My primary interest in trying to use the version provided by NERSC is to see if there is any improvement in the IO performance. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>George</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">George Pau</span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Earth Sciences Division</span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory</span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">One Cyclotron, MS 74R316C</span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Berkeley, CA 94720</span><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">(510) 486-7196<br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><a href="mailto:gpau@lbl.gov" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" target="_blank">gpau@lbl.gov</a><br style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><a href="http://esd.lbl.gov/about/staff/georgepau/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" target="_blank">http://esd.lbl.gov/profiles/george-shu-heng-pau/</a><br></div></div></div></div></div>
