Dear Gennady and Kirill,
We've come across an error trying to use the tracer tool to debug the MPI section of our code using the -check_mpi linking flag. The error happens within the first call to cluster_sparse_solver (Symbolic factorization). We get an error for collective SIZE mismatch in a call to MPI_Gatherv from MKLMPI_Gatherv. We've noted this also in our main source code (FDS) in Linux also using IMPI, also Parallel Studio XE 2020 u1.
I used our demonstration code the solver an 8 MPI process Poisson problem using the cluster_sparse_solver to verify the find. Use the tarball attached and follow the instructions in the README:
1. type: $ source /opt/intel20/parallel_studio_xe_2020/psxevars.sh
2. make a test dir in the same level as the source/ directory extracted
3. In source/ execute the make_test.sh to compile
4. In test/ run in test the css_test program with 8 MPI procs.
Any help on why this is coming up would ge gratly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Marcos

Hello Marcos,
Just a quick question while I'm looking for the PSXE at my disposal: do you see any falures when you don't use the trace analyzer and collector?
Thanks,
Kirill

Morning Kirill, thank you for looking into this. I actually also see the error only invoking the -check_mpi linking flag when compiling, without sourcing psxevars.sh.
So, just compiling and running css_test you should be able to reproduce the error.
Thank yo for your time, best
Marcos

Sorry, what I meant by this is running the compiled css_test with -check_mpi and pxevars.sh sourced in a terminal where psxevars.sh has not been sourced. It probably is the same situation as having sourced psxevar.sh.
In order to be able to compile with -check_mpi you need to source psxevars.sh. Without the flag the code runs.

compiling and running your example without -check_mpi,
I see no problems on my end:

Hi Gennady, correct. The error comes with compiling with the -check_mpi flag (previously sourcing psxvars.sh).

Hi all,
I confirm the issue. The test fails when it is run with -check_mpi as Marcos described (I believe the Trace analyzer and collector forces the stop). The reported size mismatch needs to be investigated.

Hello Marcos,
The root cause is a bug in how the distributed CSR matrix is assembled inside the cluster sparse solver. We'll fix it.
Meanwhile, I have the following workaround for you to try if you have time:
1) Assemble the input matrix (and also solution and rhs vector) on the root (main MPI process) so that iparm(40) = 0 can be used.
2) Distribute the matrix across MPI processes with intersections (so that some processes got rows in common), meaning that the ranges of [iparm(41); iparm(42)) will have an intersection across MPIs.
I am not 100% sure as I haven't checked them yet but I believe any one of these two should solve the problem. I'd try the first one.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Kirill

Good Morning Kirill,
Great to see the root cause of the error has been found. For us it doesn't make much sense to build the global Poisson matrix in Process 0 as it doesn't have information of other meshes held by other processes.
We will have to wait for the fix and new release of MKL. Thank you very much for your time and attention.
Best,
Marcos

Hi Marcos,
I totally understand that it can be unnatural from the perspective of assembling pieces of discretization. What I suggest is to write a small code which will organize MPI communications between processes to form the matrix on the MPI root process.
I guess we can provide such a snippet from our side if needed (this would need a communication outside of this forum). It will take local CSR matrix on each process and assemble the global matrix on the root via MPI.
The rationale of this suggestion is to make it possible for you to not wait on the next release.
Let us know if you think it will help you proceed with your project faster.
Thanks,
Kirill

Hi Kirill, thank you very much for the offer. I would not worry about this, even though it would be interesting personally to see how the comm is setup to send back the Matrices to 0.
I think we can wait for the next MKL release, noting that if doing tests with -check_mpi we don't want to use the cluster solver (we have other non-MKL Poisson solver based in Fishpack which is the default). This is a new flag we are using as we learn to use the tracer tool, but it is not yet set in our targets being compiled in our nightly builds/continuous integration.
Again thank you, and best regards
Marcos

Hi Marcos!
The fix should become available in oneMKL 2021 Gold release which is going to be released soon AFAIK.

A correction to my previous reply: the fix is already available in MKL 2020u4 (and will also be a part of oneMKL 2021.1, that part was correct).

Hi Gennady, I'm seeing another issue. If you run the posted self contained program compiled with the -check_mpi flag and Update 4, it goes through the numerical factorization successfully but after 1500 solves the program crashes with a PMPI_Comm_free() error, see below:
