Thanks a lot. In fact, I have tried MPI_REAL16. The same thing happened. mpi_gather does not work for it either. I have decided to rewrite a new subroutine to replace mpi_reduce. Best regards, On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 at 12:38 AM Jeff Hammond <[email protected]> wrote:
The specific issue here is that MPI_LONG_DOUBLE does not map to REAL*16. You should try MPI_REAL16. I suspect it generates an error telling you that it is not supported.
MPI_LONG_DOUBLE corresponds to C "long double", which is an awful type that means a bunch of different things depending on your hardware and compiler. If you are using x86 Linux, it should be the x87 80-bit type. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_double for details.

There is a challenge here because there is no standard type in C corresponding to REAL*16. Either the reduction operation needs to be written in Fortran or MPICH needs to figure out the compiler-dependent equivalent of REAL*16 that works in C. While GCC __float128 and Intel _Quad might be equivalent, this is not a rigorous assumption.
I recommend that you write your own user-defined reduction for REAL*16 with the reduction operation callback in Fortran.

I have found that the fortran version mpi_reduce does not work for real*18. This can be shown by the following program. I have not test the C version of mpi_reduce.
