Hello,

I have a MPI/C++ code for parallel reading from a single data file. There seems
to be some problem which I am not able to figure out. Pls point out my mistake.
Here is the code, data file and input:

// example of parallel MPI read from single file, in C++
#include <iostream.h>
#include <mpi.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    int bufsize, buf[15], count,rank,nprocs,i;
    MPI_File fh;
    MPI_Status status;

    MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
    MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
    MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &nprocs);

    bufsize = sizeof(int)*30 / nprocs ; // local number to read
    nints = bufsize/sizeof (int);

    MPI_File_open
(MPI_COMM_WORLD,"testfile.dat",MPI_MODE_RDONLY,MPI_INFO_NULL,&fh);
    MPI_File_seek(fh,rank*bufsize,MPI_SEEK_SET);
    MPI_File_read(fh,&buf,nints,MPI_INT,&status);
    MPI_File_close(&fh);

    if(rank == 0) for(i=0;i<15;i++) cout<<"rank = "<<rank<<" "<<" i
= "<<i<<" "<<buf[i]<<endl;
    free (buf);
    MPI_Finalize();
    return 0;
}

rank = 0 i = 11 170998026
rank = 0 i = 12 842009138
rank = 0 i = 13 822751794
rank = 0 i = 14 171062026

Why buf[i] is not reading the desired data. Pls suggest.

Thanks,
