【问题标题】:Using valgrind to spot error in mpi code使用 valgrind 发现 mpi 代码中的错误
【发布时间】:2016-04-23 10:36:27
【问题描述】:

我有一个代码可以完美地串行运行,但使用 mpirun -n 2 ./out 它会出现以下错误:

./out': malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: 0x00000000024aa090

我尝试使用 valgrind,例如:

valgrind --leak-check=yes mpirun -n 2 ./out

我得到以下输出:

我不擅长 valgrind,但我理解的是 valgrind 没有问题。 valgrind 是否有更好的选择来发现所提到的特定错误的来源?

    【解决方案1】:

    请注意,通过上面的调用,

    valgrind --leak-check=yes mpirun -n 2 ./out
    

    您正在程序 mpirun 上运行 valgrind,该程序可能已经过广泛测试并且可以正常工作,而不是您知道有问题的程序 ./out

    要在您的测试程序上运行 valgrind,您需要执行以下操作:

    mpirun -n 2 valgrind --leak-check=yes ./out
    

    它使用 mpirun 启动 2 个进程,每个进程运行 valgrind --leak-check=yes ./out

    【讨论】:

    • 附带说明一下,在 mpi 程序上运行 valgrind 通常会产生大量误报。尝试通过 valgrind 作为串行程序运行它总是值得的。串行程序实际上不会导致崩溃错误,但导致错误的错误内存访问可能仍然会发生,但后果较轻。
    • 另外值得注意的是这个来自 valgrind 的关于使用 mpi 运行的页面:valgrind.org/docs/manual/mc-manual.html#mc-manual.mpiwrap
    【解决方案2】:

    Jonathan Dursi 的回答永远不会出错,但让我补充一下,如果使用多个处理器,读取 valgrind 输出可能会很痛苦。

    不输出到控制台,而是将其转储到日志文件中。当然,如果您将两个进程都转储到同一个日志文件中,那将无济于事。相反,记录到多个文件 - valgrind 将 '%p' 解释为进程 ID,因此您可以获得两个(或更多)日志文件:

    mpiexec -np 2 valgrind --leak-check=full \
        --show-reachable=yes --log-file=nc.vg.%p ./noncontig_coll2 -fname blah
