I think my problem with MPIU_THREAD_GRANULARITY_GLOBAL is a CS_YIELD. MPIU_THREAD_CS_ENTER(ALLFUNC,); .... MPIR_Bsend_data_t *active = BsendBuffer.active, *next_active; while (active) { fprintf(stderr,"%2.2u:%u:active %p (0x%08x kind=%d) refcount %d\n", Kernel_ProcessorID(),__LINE__, (active->request), (active->request)->handle, active->request->kind, MPIU_Object_get_ref((active->request))); ... There's one or more yields somewhere... in test and/or progress. I haven't tracked it down and I'm out tomorrow. I end up with 3 threads (26, 54, 48) working on the same active request. 26 frees it and moves on to the next active. 48 chokes on the freed request. stderr[0]: threaded exit stderr[0]: 26:441:active 0x15d1c78 (0xac000003 kind=1) refcount 2 stderr[0]: 26:decr 0x15d1aa8 (0xac000001 kind=REQUEST) refcount to 1 stderr[0]: 26:decr 0x15d1c78 (0xac000003 kind=REQUEST) refcount to 1 stderr[0]: yield stderr[0]: 54:441:active 0x15d1c78 (0xac000003 kind=1) refcount 1 stderr[0]: 54:set 0x15d1d60 (0xac000004 kind=REQUEST) refcount to 1 stderr[0]: 54:set 0x15d1d60 (0xac000004 kind=REQUEST) refcount to 2 stderr[0]: 54:decr 0x15d1d60 (0xac000004 kind=REQUEST) refcount to 1 stderr[0]: yield stderr[0]: 48:441:active 0x15d1c78 (0xac000003 kind=1) refcount 1 stderr[0]: 48:set 0x15d1e48 (0xac000005 kind=REQUEST) refcount to 1 stderr[0]: 48:set 0x15d1e48 (0xac000005 kind=REQUEST) refcount to 2 stderr[0]: 48:decr 0x15d1e48 (0xac000005 kind=REQUEST) refcount to 1 stderr[0]: yield stderr[0]: 26:decr 0x15d1c78 (0xac000003 kind=REQUEST) refcount to 0 stderr[0]: 26:decr 0x1560f78 (0x44000000 kind=COMM) refcount to 3 stderr[0]: 26:free 0x15d1c78 (0xac000003 kind=0) refcount 0 stderr[0]: 26:356:prev 0x15d1c78, active 0x15d1aa8 (0xac000001 kind=1) refcount 1 stderr[0]: 26:441:active 0x15d1aa8 (0xac000001 kind=1) refcount 1 stderr[0]: yield stderr[0]: 32:441:active 0x15d1aa8 (0xac000001 kind=1) refcount 1 stderr[0]: yield stderr[0]: 48:badcase 0x15d1c78 (0xac000003 kind=0) refcount 0 stderr[0]: Abort(1) on node 0 (rank 0 in comm 1140850688): Fatal error in MPI_Bsend: Internal MPI error!, error stack: stderr[0]: MPI_Bsend(181)..............: MPI_Bsend(buf=0x19c8a06d70, count=1024, MPI_CHAR, dest=1, tag=0, MPI_COMM_WORLD) failed stderr[0]: MPIR_Bsend_isend(226).......: stderr[0]: MPIR_Bsend_check_active(474): stderr[0]: MPIR_Test_impl(65)..........: stderr[0]: MPIR_Request_complete(239)..: INTERNAL ERROR: unexpected value in case statement (value=0) I'm guessing the problem with MPIU_THREAD_GRANULARITY_PER_OBJECT is there's no lock and the threads are all over each other... no yield needed? It's just not thread safe with the static BsendBuffer.
