Hello Matthias, Robert Ramey, I am revisiting the topic of mpi broadcast-receiving a polymorphic object through a base class null pointer: void recv_histodata(boost::mpi::communicator& world) { historical_data_base* hd = nullptr; boost::mpi::broadcast(world, hd, master_process); } historical_data_base has 3 derived classes. I get the unregistered class exception from the serialization library, and so I am trying to register the derived type as shown in the serialization doc at /libs/serialization/doc/index.html : reference ar.template register_type<derived_one>(); but where do I put that?

invoke that any time after the archive is created but before the "derived_one" is serialized. make sure you do it in the same place on saving an loading. I believe the following would work. binary_oarchive oa(...) oa.template register_type<derived_one>; ... binary_iarchive ia(...) ia.template register_type<derived_one>; ...

Matthias, Is this something automatically done in boost::mpi::broadcast() or the functions it calls? My user code doesn't deal with the archive directly, it's boost::mpi's that does. Regards MM

return * this->This(); } which calls itself again after a couple of in-between calls to other functions. Here is a stack:

I am still confused as to what the reason for your problems is. Also, did you test whether what you want to do works if you use binary archives, to store and load the object? Matthias

This was happening at a stage where I was not consistent in the sending broadcast with the receiving broadcast. Just to double check, I assume that it should be possible to: 1. send with mpi::broadcast( , const base_pointer, ) and receive with mpi::broadcast( , const base_pointer, ), granted the derived classes have been exported with BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY in both translation units. 2. send with mpi::broadcast( , const derived_pointer, ) and receive with mpi::broadcast( , const base_pointer, ), granted the derived classes have been exported with BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY in both translation units. I am doing 1. and 2.. In both cases the receiver throws "class unregistered" even though the BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY expands correctly in both sender and receiver(slave) translation units. What was the fix you were comitting over the weekend? thanks MM

Yes, the idea is that these should work. To see where the problem is I had asked you:
… did you test whether what you want to do works if you use binary archives, to store and load the object?
Matthias
Matthias Troyer, I send the broadcast with send.cpp boost::mpi::broadcast( , const derived*&, ) receive.cpp boost::mpi::broadcast( , base*&, ) both .cpp files contain BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY macro for the derived types. send succeeds while receive throws unregistered exception however. Robert Ramey, while debugging, could you point out where I should see the class name being sent down the archive? and where it is read from the archive? Thanks, MM

I confirm that on the reception side, the class name is not found in the archive (debugging this). typedef templateclass<arg> myclass; On the sending side, I have BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY( namespace::namespace::myclass ) I don't know why it is not sent down the pipe. Could someone pinpoint where I should see the class name sent in the mpi archive code? It is obvious where for input but not for output. MM

From the backtrace it seems that the code dies when performing serialization of a "lattice_type" element. This leads me to think
Hello, I tried to run your code but it's still too big and complex for me to be able to say anything without a long debugging session, which I cannot do now. So please take this email with a grain of salt, as I could have totally misunderstood the code... I compiled the code you sent with Boost.MPI 1.45 and OpenMPI 1.4. Running it on two MPI ranks, I always get the same two errors: * Rank 1 dies with the "archive_exception / array size too short" error, but * Rank 0 dies with a segmentation fault. I managed to get rid of the "archive_exception / array size too short" error from rank 1 (modified slbmpi.h attached), but the rank 0 still segfaults. (1) Concerning the "array size" error: your code reads: reqs.push_back( world.isend( Sender , SendTag , &Neighbor2Proc[ i ] , Msg2Send_size ) ) ; [Aside: I think there's a typo here: the first argument to "world.isend" is the *destination rank*, so I guess you have "Sender" where "Receiver" should be...] This sends Msg2Send_size elements of type "lattice_type" starting at location "&Neighbor2Proc[i]". However, the corresponding "world.irecv" has: reqs.push_back( world.irecv( msg.source() , msg.tag() , Neighbor4Proc[ i ] ) ) ; // , Msg2Send_size: not compiling: request irecv(int source, int tag, T * values, int n) const; @ http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/doc/html/boost/mpi/communicator.html#id... so you are receiving an array of "Msg2Send_size" elements into a single value of type "lattice_type". If you change the sender line to: reqs.push_back( world.isend( Receiver , SendTag , Neighbor2Proc[i] ) ); then the type of the sent object and the receiving slot do match, and the error is gone. If you wanted to send more than one element of Neighbor2Proc, then you have to use an exactly corresponding type in the recv call. (2) Regading the segfault: Adding some debug statements to slbmpi.h, I can see that it dies when executing "world.isend(..., Neighbor2Proc[i])": rmurri@xenia:~/tst$ mpirun -np 2 --tag-output ./a.out ...

As far as I understand, this means the boost::serialization code will try to dereference each pointer in the "neighbors" array and serialize the pointed-to elements. Could it be that some elements of "lattice_type::neighbors" are NULL pointers? (It would make sense for elements at a corner of the grid.) Also, IIRC, the "serialize" code is responsible for serializing *all* fields in a struct: in this case you are basically transmitting just a tiny part of the "lattice_type" and will thus get garbage on the receiving side... Hope this helps, Riccardo

On the sending side, I have BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_KEY( namespace::namespace::myclass )
I don't know why it is not sent down the pipe.
Note that you'll have to have BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT... on BOTH sides.
This is usually assured by having the save and load symetrical.

I have generated preprocessed output of the translation unit and the macros expand correctly to: namespace boost { namespace serialization { template<> struct guid_defined< nicohich::histodatas::daily_data > : boost::mpl::true_ {}; template<> inline const char * guid< nicohich::histodatas::daily_data >(){ return "nicohich::histodatas::daily_data"; } } } namespace boost { namespace serialization { template<> struct guid_defined< nicohich::histodatas::future_daily_data > : boost::mpl::true_ {}; template<> inline const char * guid< nicohich::histodatas::future_daily_data >(){ return "nicohich::histodatas::future_daily_data"; } } } namespace boost { namespace serialization { template<> struct guid_defined< nicohich::histodatas::minute_data > : boost::mpl::true_ {}; template<> inline const char * guid< nicohich::histodatas::minute_data >(){ return "nicohich::histodatas::minute_data"; } } } This bit appears AFTER the _declaration_ of the serialize template function, but _before_ its implementation. These derived types only have the serialize<> template function, not the save and load because they don't need them. The base class has a save() and load(). This is very puzzling, Regards, MM
