Dear Ken,
Sorry, yes, the MPI_HYPERCUBE_ALLGATHERV created a problem because in the Ewald table module I had at some point introduced the MPI_IN_PLACE option in the call of MPI_Allgatherv(), but my own version of MPI_Allgatherv() wasn't setup for MPI_IN_PLACE yet.
I have changed this now, i.e. if you update the code, MPI_HYPERCUBE_ALLGATHERV should not create a hang any more. While at it, I have also cleaned up how the native MPI_Allgatherv() is wrapped with a custom version in the code, and likewise I introduce such an option for MPI_Alltoall() as well, through the new MPI_HYPERCUBE_ALLTOALL option. Also, I enforced the message size limit in MPI_Sendrecv more consistently in all relevant places.
For maximum MPI-stability, one should then set MPI_HYPERCUBE_ALLGATHERV, MPI_HYPERCUBE_ALLTOALL, and impose a MPI_MESSAGE_SIZELIMIT_IN_MB = 100 or lower. But one should not activate USE_MPIALLTOALLV_IN_DOMAINDECOMP and ISEND_IRECV_IN_DOMAIN.
I hope this helps. I note that in your original log-message, I also noted the suspicious line
MALLOC: Allocation of shared memory took 187.053 sec
There is really no reason why the allocation of the shared memory should take that long (it should take fractions of a second)... I have experienced this phenomenon with some MPICH-based MPI-libraries in combination with older linux kernels. I have no clue why this happens, except that it shouldn't.
As a work-around for this, you can try to activate the new option ALLOCATE_SHARED_MEMORY_VIA_POSIX.
Best,
Volker
