Loop in fortran with openmp and allocatable arrays - fortran

Question

I like to do this:
program main
implicit none
integer l
integer, allocatable, dimension(:) :: array
allocate(array(10))
array = 0
!$omp parallel do private(array)
do l = 1, 10
array(l) = l
enddo
!$omp end parallel do
print *, array
deallocate(array)
end
But I am running into error messages:
* glibc detected * ./a.out: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fff25d05a40 *
This seems to be a bug in ifort according to some discussions at intel forums but should be resolved in the version I am using (11.1.073 - Linux). This is a MASSIVE downscaled version of my code! I unfortunately can not use static arrays to have a workaround.
If I put the print into the loop, I get other errors:
* glibc detected ./a.out: double free or corruption (out): 0x00002b22a0c016f0 **

Answer 1

I didn't get the errors you're getting, but you have an issue with privatizing array in your OpenMP call.
[mjswartz#666-lgn testfiles]$ vi array.f90
[mjswartz#666-lgn testfiles]$ ifort -o array array.f90 -openmp
[mjswartz#666-lgn testfiles]$ ./array
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
[mjswartz#666-lgn testfiles]$ vi array.f90
[mjswartz#666-lgn testfiles]$ ifort -o array array.f90 -openmp
[mjswartz#666-lgn testfiles]$ ./array
1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10
First run is with private array, second is without.
program main
implicit none
integer l
integer, allocatable, dimension(:) :: array
allocate(array(10))
!$omp parallel do
do l = 1, 10
array(l) = l
enddo
print*, array
deallocate(array)
end program main

I just ran your code with ifort and openmp and it spewed 0d0's. I had to manually quit the execution. What is your expected output? I'm not a big fan of unnecessarily dynamically allocating arrays. You know what you're going to allocate your matrices as, so just make parameters and statically do it. I'll mess with some stuff and edit this response in a few.
Ok, so here's my edits:
program main
implicit none
integer :: l, j
integer, parameter :: lmax = 15e3
integer, parameter :: jmax = 25
integer, parameter :: nk = 300
complex*16, dimension(9*nk) :: x0, xin, xout
complex*16, dimension(lmax) :: e_pump, e_probe
complex*16 :: e_pumphlp, e_probehlp
character*25 :: problemtype
real*8 :: m
! OpenMP variables
integer :: myid, nthreads, omp_get_num_threads, omp_get_thread_num
x0 = 0.0d0
problemtype = 'type1'
if (problemtype .ne. 'type1') then
write(*,*) 'Problem type not specified. Quitting'
stop
else
! Spawn a parallel region explicitly scoping all variables
!$omp parallel
myid = omp_get_thread_num()
if (myid .eq. 0) then
nthreads = omp_get_num_threads()
write(*,*) 'Starting program with', nthreads, 'threads'
endif
!$omp do private(j,l,m,e_pumphlp,e_probehlp,e_pump,e_probe)
do j = 1, jmax - 1
do l = 1, lmax
call electricfield(0.0d0, 0.0d0, e_pumphlp, &
e_probehlp, 0.0d0)
! print *, e_pumphlp, e_probehlp
e_pump(l) = e_pumphlp
e_probe(l) = e_probehlp
print *, e_pump(l), e_probe(l)
end do
end do
!$omp end parallel
end if
end program main
Notice I removed your use of a module since it was unnecessary. You have an external module containing a subroutine, so just make it an external subroutine. Also, I changed your matrices to be statically allocated. Case statements are a fancy and expensive version of if statements. You were casing 15e3*25 times rather than once (expensive), so I moved those outside. I changed the OpenMP calls, but only semantically. I gave you some output so that you know what OpenMP is actually doing.
Here is the new subroutine:
subroutine electricfield(t, tdelay, e_pump, e_probe, phase)
implicit none
real*8, intent(in) :: t, tdelay
complex*16, intent(out) :: e_pump, e_probe
real*8, optional, intent (in) :: phase
e_pump = 0.0d0
e_probe = 0.0d0
return
end subroutine electricfield
I just removed the module shell around it and changed some of your variable names. Fortran is not case sensitive, so don't torture yourself by doing caps and having to repeat it throughout.
I compiled this with
ifort -o diffeq diffeq.f90 electricfield.f90 -openmp
and ran with
./diffeq > output
to catch the program vomiting 0's and to see how many threads I was using:

Hope this helps!

It would appear that you are running into a compiler bug associated with the implementation of OpenMP 3.0.
If you can't update your compiler, then you will need to change your approach. There are a few options - for example you could make the allocatable arrays shared, increase their rank by one and have one thread allocate them such that the extent of the additional dimension is the number of workers in the team. All subsequent references to those arrays then need to be have the subscript for that additional rank be the omp team number (+ 1, depending on what you've used for the lower bound).
Explicit allocation of the private allocatable arrays inside the parallel construct (only) may also be an option.
