MPI_BARRIER 不起作用

Question

为什么这里的屏障不起作用？如果我使用它，程序会被阻止，否则我会以奇怪的顺序得到输出：

Number of worker tasks = 4
   sending 1-th element q=0.011000 to task 1
   sending 2-th element q=0.012000 to task 2
   received 1-th element q=0.011000 in task 1
   processed 1-th element q=6.105000 in task 1
   sending 3-th element q=0.013000 to task 3
   received 2-th element q=0.012000 in task 2
   processed 2-th element q=13.320000 in task 2
   sending 4-th element q=0.014000 to task 4
   received 3-th element q=0.013000 in task 3
   processed 3-th element q=21.645000 in task 3
 starting to get data in MASTER
   MASTER received 0-th element q=6.105000 from task 1
   MASTER received 0-th element q=13.320000 from task 2
   received 4-th element q=0.014000 in task 4
   processed 4-th element q=31.080000 in task 4
   MASTER received 0-th element q=21.645000 from task 3
   MASTER received 0-th element q=31.080000 from task 4
 end

MPI_Barrier 是一个集体通信调用：它将阻塞，直到参数中提供的通信器中的所有进程都调用它。由于您的工作进程永远不会调用 MPI_Barrier，因此主进程会无限期地阻塞。
