After #118, dequeuing has a timeout of 500 ms. Unfortunately, there is an MPI test in faasm (the barrier test) that blocks for 1s dequeuing (note that the 1s timeout is enforced through
sleepcalls). Thus we either:faabriclarger (in this PR, happy to revert)MPI_QUEUE_TIMEOUT(originally opted for this, but given how controversial timeout values are, I doubt adding more will solve anything)clients/cppIn favour of changing the timeout value here is that there may be occasions in which we deliberately block on a
send/recvas a fake synchronization point, hence 500 ms may be a bit short.In the process of debugging this issue, I've realised we weren't testing the barrier at all in
faabricso added a couple tests for that.Lastly, after this gets merged in I will bump the faabric dependency in faasm. It's cumbersome to do so often, but helps catching this sort of bugs early.
