thanks Wat if the master has to send and receive large data package ? It has to be splited into multiple parts ? This may increase communication overhead. I can use MPI_datatype to wrap it up as a specific datatype, which can carry the data. What if the data is very large? 1k bytes or 10 kbytes , 100 kbytes ? the master need to collect the same datatype from all workers. So, in this way, the master has to set up a data pool to get all data. The master's buffer provided by the MPI may not be large enough to do this. Are there some other ways to do it ? Any help is appreciated. thanks Jack july 7 2010 From: solarbik...@gmail.com List-Post: users@lists.open-mpi.org Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 17:32:27 -0700 To: us...@open-mpi.org Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Open MPI error MPI_ERR_TRUNCATE: message truncated
This error typically occurs when the received message is bigger than the specified buffer size. You need to narrow your code down to offending receive command to see if this is indeed the case.
