<div dir="ltr">Hi<br><br>Thanks for the help. This was quite confusing, and there is quite an exciting matrix of test results, but I think this is resolved. <br><br>Basically, I was playing fast and loose with using a local section to get offsets for a global vector. When I instead used a global section and subtracted the ownership range from the offset, everything seemed to be working okay. <br><br>What remains a mystery is why was the stack trace pointing to the GlobalVectorCreate instead of the assignment statement to the Scalar array grabbed using VecGetArray? <br><br><br>Thanks <br>Nicholas<br><br><br><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Dec 28, 2022 at 3:51 PM Barry Smith <<a href="mailto:bsmith@petsc.dev">bsmith@petsc.dev</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div><br></div> This is a mysterious stack. It is inside memalign() that Valgrind has found the code is accessing memory outside of the block size allocated, but memalign() is presumably the routine that is in the middle of the process of doing the allocation! This could indicate some (undetected) memory corruption has occurred earlier in the run thus memalign() has corrupted data structures.

Using Valgrind, I have been able to trace the issue to DMCreateGlobalVector. I've reduced the code to a relatively simple routine (very similar to example 7) and attached it.
