Internal error when using MPI Intel library

Hello,

 

I am having some issues when using reduction operations on MPI communicators.

 

I have a lots of different communicators created using the algorithm this way :

 

 

                              MPI_ERR_SONDAGE(MPI_Group_incl(world_group, comm_size, &(on_going_communicator[0]), &local_group));
                              MPI_ERR_SONDAGE(MPI_Comm_create_group(MPI_COMM_WORLD, local_group, tag, &communicator)); tag++;

 

When I call a reduction operation like so :

 

MPI_ERR_SONDAGE(MPI_Allreduce(&(temporary[0]), &(temporary_glo[0]), (int)lignes.size(), MPI_DOUBLE, MPI_MAX, communicator));

 

I get

I only have this problem on big test case. Meaning lots of communicators with a reasonnable amount of data to reduce. So I cannot create a MCVE, sorry.

 

When I set the environment variables I_MPI_COLL_DIRECT=off and I_MPI_COLL_INTRANODE=pt2pt, the code works fine. Since I guess the problem is induced by the use of NUMA and I guess forcing point to point communication will inhibit the use of NUMA.

 

But my fear is that these options will lead to degraded performance, so I really would like to know the bottom problem.

I have tried with :

intel/2020.1.217

intel/2020.2.254

intel/2021.4.0

 

And they basically show the same error.

 

Could you tell me or give me a hint of what is going on ?

 

Thank you.
