Hi, I just start using CodinGame today, so I don't quite understand why I end up with standard error like this but still successfully get my code passed.

------- THIS IS MY STANDARD ERROR---------------------

I have the same issue. Does anyone know what is wrong with my code?

Anonymous • 4 years ago

I don't think there is anything wrong with the code... I commented out everything in main() and the error still comes up. The problem seems to be with the test. I'll try to run it locally

a solution for the splitting exercise would be nice!

Wow! It is super! I have never seen such quality tutorial. Thank You for Your work!

Please correct a little mistake in the "MPI Status Retrieval" Section in the following line:
MPI_Recv(&values, 5, MPI_DOUBLE, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, MPI_ANY_TAG, &status);
MPI_Recv(&values, 5, MPI_DOUBLE, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, MPI_ANY_TAG, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);

In P2P Communications, exercise 1, two command line arguments are passed as input. The code reads argv[1], but it appears that the rank 0 process gets one of the args and rank 1 process gets the other. How does this happen?

*Edit*
So I went to the Github repo and found this.
Apparently the script runs the mpirun command in a way that allows this.
More on the mpirun man page

If you keep seeing

"An error occurred in MPI_Scatter on communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD"

or "Segmentation fault", the following may help:

For
MPI_Scatter parameters send_count and recv_count is the number of
elements you want to send to each process (I thought
send_count is total number of elements in buffer)

The same for MPI_Gather - send_count = recv_count = single process element count

Until
I found this out my program resulted in errors in console and i didn't
any see fractal plot. (There was a "Success" message though, this is a
bit misleading)

Thank you so much for making this tutorial! It's so much better than the course I am taking.

Thank you! A great tutorial!

Hi, the 8th tutorial is both hard and useful. I successfully get result = 8s for non-blocking case, by using intelMPI on Visual Studio.
However, for blocking case, I got result = 9s, which is a combination of 3 and 6 in process 0. Does anyone know why?

Actually I'm working on simple mpi program which is about matrices multiplication and I need to know it's performance and output result comparing with sequential program, So could you please to guide me how Can I do the comparison ???
