I'm getting an assert from the Intel MPI library (2021.6.0) as follows:

Assertion failed in file ../../src/mpid/ch4/src/intel/ch4_shm_coll.c at line 2266: comm->shm_numa_layout[my_numa_node].base_addr

Which seems to be originating from the MPI_Win_create call. I'm not exactly sure what's triggering it but seems to be related to creating Windows that do not expose any memory. i.e. there doesn't seem to be any limit to creating Windows with distinct pointers and sizes but a few hundred of something that does not expose memory triggers the above.

So, firstly are the following valid in Intel MPI (they are with OpenMPI)?:

  1. MPI_Win_create(NULL, 0, sizeof(int) ....)
  2. MPI_Win_create(&dummy, 0, sizeof(int) ...)
  3. MPI_Win_create(&dummy, 1*sizeof(int), sizeof(int) ...)

Where dummy is defined as a global int.

For cases where a process does not expose any memory, I am using 1. (I've tried the constant MPI_BOTTOM but get the same assert), which causes the assert. So then I tried 2., to trick it but that also trips up, so I am now finally using 3. which does not cause the asserts but doesn't seem right

Thanks for any advice

Hi,


Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.


Could you please provide the following details to investigate more on your issue?

1. OS details and CPU details.

2. Complete reproducer code and steps to reproduce your issue?

3. MPI Library version(2021.6 /2021.5.1). You can find the MPI Library version using the below Command:

mpirun --version

4. Provide the complete debug log using the below command:

I_MPI_DEBUG=10 mpirun -n <num of processess> -ppn <process per node>./a.out



Thanks & Regards,

Hemanth

Hi Hemanth,

This will do it:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>

#define NVARS 600

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  int i;
  MPI_Win *mpi_wins;

  MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
  
  mpi_wins = (MPI_Win *)malloc(NVARS * sizeof(MPI_Win));
  for (i=0; i<NVARS; i++)
    MPI_Win_create(NULL, 0, sizeof(int), MPI_INFO_NULL,
		   MPI_COMM_WORLD, &mpi_wins[i]);

  MPI_Finalize();
  
  return(0);
  
}

Hi, 


we tried to run the code at our end using the below specifications, but we couldn't reproduce your issue.

Os details: Rocky Linux 8

MPI version: 2021.6

Job Scheduler: Slurm

FI_Provider: MLX


Could you please confirm, if you are using PBS Job scheduler?


Thanks & Regards,

Hemanth

Hi Hemanth,

I'm one of the admins for the cluster in question here. I can reproduce this issue just in a plain SSH session, no batch job required. It also only seems to be occur for -np 3 or -np 4 -- otherwise, it runs fine with either more or less ranks.

It's also not the first call to MPI_Win_create that generates the assertion failure -- it's only when i=454. And if I change the test code to actually expose something rather than just passing a NULL address and 0 for the size, then it works for all rank counts.

Given the particular assertion that's failing, I'm wondering if it's hardware dependent, e.g. the association of the ranks with cores and NUMA domains, and that's why you can't reproduce it on your end.

Let us know if there's any other information that would be helpful to debug this, or if it would be better submitted via IPS.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi frizwi/Ben,


Can you please rerun your application with the below environment variable and share your findings?

$ I_MPI_SHM_HEAP_VSIZE=0

With I_MPI_SHM_HEAP_VSIZE=0, it works with no errors on my test program.

 

Next I'll try my full application to see how that goes. What are the consequences of setting this env?

Hello frizwi.


With I_MPI_SHM_HEAP_VSIZE=0, the shared memory allocator is disabled. Some implementations of collective operations rely on SHM heap. This setting will therefore disable such algorithms, which might possibly result in a performance hit. The performance hit, if any, will depend on the nature of your application.
