Dear netCDF community,
I would like to report a bug in netCDF-Fortran 4.6.0. My Fortran program hangs
when outputting large arrays in parallel mode on a distributed system. The
specific function in question is nf90_put_var. The dataset was created in
parallel mode, and the variable access was set to collective. The variable is
3D (longitude, latitude, time). When I decrease the time dimension, I can
output larger longitude/latitude chunks without hanging. When I use a larger
number of processors, I can output larger datasets. The program works properly
on a single node (shared memory). In addition, the program also executed
normally if endianness of the output data is set to “big endian”.
My netCDF Fortran library has been compiled in parallel mode. My compiler
information is as follows: ifort (IFORT) 19.0.3.199 20190206. Copyright (C)
