I would never compile a fortran program relying on a specific compiler option! I would never use r8/i8! I would highly encourage you to explicitly set the precision of each variable if you need specific variable precision. There are plenty of tutorials around for this (selected_real/int_kind).
Secondly, the warning of mis-alignment is due to the data type not being a multiple of 8. You can pad it with additional bytes to reach a multiple of 8 (in this case add a fake integer, or character(len=4)). I do not know if sequence is needed for the mpi data type (I guess it is needed when dealing with arrays of types, but again, I am not fully sure about this...). A couple of options: 1) I think sequence should work if you pad it to align with 8 bytes. 2) add code that is directive specified against the compiler to tell the exact alignment of the data type 3) Your compilation of -r8 -i8 does probably not work due to the integer being long, and hence your data type of MPI_INTEGER (you did not tell us whether you corrected this) 2014-10-03 11:07 GMT+00:00 Diego Avesani <diego.aves...@gmail.com>: > Dears, > First of all.
