[MPICH] MPICH105 shm drops packages on SUN niagara

[chong tan]

No taker on this ?  There is an identical proble on Linux.  Just that I am not sure if this code can reproduce the problem.

The following code reproduces the problem.  I think you maybe able to reproduce the error on
Linux, but I am not sure.
 
 
It is best to run :
mpiexec -n 8 a.out
to reproduce the problem.  You will need a machine with 8CPU/cores.  SOmetime you will need to
run the code multiple time to see the error.
 
there will be files fast_mpi_?.dmp created, where ? is the rank of the related 'rank'.  When MPI get stuck,
you should look at the last line of fast_mpi_0.dmp.  If it says:

  read from child 7

 
then you should look at the last line of fast_mpi_7.dmp, it will say:
  read from master

 
hope this help to debug the error.
 
thanks
