Yes, I tried it with OpenMPI and the same problem occurred.

(MSFC-EV41)" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [mpich-discuss] Buffer corruption due to an excessive number of messages Joachim, Unfortunately, using MPI_Improbe/MPI_Mrecv didn't solve the problem -- I still am receiving buffers with invalid data objects near the ends of the buffers. The problem goes away when I reduce the size of the job (number of nodes), making me think it is the large number of messages that is causing the problem. 1. Is there a way to detect this kind of overload with an MPI call? 2. Is there an upper bound on the number of messages that can be "in flight"? 3. Is there a upper bound on message length? Or is there some other possible cause that I haven't thought of?

Hi Kurt, just a thought: do you execute single-threaded or multi-threaded? In case of multi-threaded execution, you should look into MPI_Improbe/MPI_Mrecv just to make sure that you really receive the message you probed for. Even in single-threaded execution you might try whether using these functions instead fixes your issue. Best Joachim Am 14.09.23 um 22:02 schrieb Mccall, Kurt E. (MSFC-EV41) via discuss:
It seems that when I send a process too many non-blocking messages (with MPI_Isend) , MPI_Iprobe/MPI_Recv sometimes returns a buffer
with corrupted data for some of the messages. Usually the corrupted data objects are at the end of the array that was sent. I checked the
buffers passed to MPI_Isend, and they are uncorrupted.
