Martin,

You say that you allocate shared memory, do you mean shared memory windows? If so, this could be the reason: https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/4952

The alignment of memory allocated for MPI windows is not suitable for 128bit values in Open MPI (only 8-byte alignment is guaranteed atm). I have seen the alignment change depending on the number of processes. Could you check the alignment of the memory you are trying to access?

Cheers,
Joseph

Dear all,
I have a problem with a segfault on a user-built OpenMPI 3.0.1 running on 
Ubuntu 16.04
in local mode (only processes on a single computer).

The problem manifests itself as a segfault when allocating shared memory for
(at least) one 128-bit atomic variable (say std::atomic<__int128>) and then
storing into this variable. This error only occurs when there are at least two
processes, even though only the process of shared rank 0 is the one doing both
the allocation and the writing. The compile flags -march=core2 or -march=native
or -latomic were tried, none of which helped.

An example of the code that triggers it on my computers is this:
https://github.com/bohm/binstretch/blob/parallel-classic/algorithm/bug.cpp

The code works fine with mpirun -np 1 and segfaults with mpirun -np 2, 3 and 4;
if line 41 is commented out (the 128-bit atomic write), everything works fine
with -np 2 or more.

As for Ubuntu's stock package containing OpenMPI 1.10.2, the code segfaults with
"-np 2" and "-np 3" but not "-np 1" or "-np 4".

Thank you for any assistance concerning this problem. I would suspect my own
code to be the most likely culprit, since it triggers on both the stock package
and custom-built OpenMPI.

I attach the config.log.bz2 and ompi_info.log. Below I list some runs of the 
program
and what errors are produced.

Thank you for any assistance. I have tried googling and searching the mailing 
list
for this problem; if I missed something, I apologize.
