`plot_*_merged` functions don't work in a fresh session

carstenbauer opened this issue · comments

If I run the basic example (in example/) the plotting functions work, i.e. they print to the REPL and create a file gantt.png. However, if I close the REPL and and then load and merge the tape files in a fresh REPL, they don't. Specifically, if I run

using MPITape
tape_merged = MPITape.merge()
MPITape.plot_merged(tape_merged)

I get the following error:

julia> MPITape.plot_merged(tape_merged)
ERROR: Not all destinations found for MPITape.MPIEvent(1, MPI_Send, ..., 0.00014693100000329196, 0.00015528099999784217): [0]

Note that plot_sequence_merged fails with the same error (since they share get_edges).

(cc @Mellich)

This seems to be a bug in the merge() function. merge() calls save(), so if you call it from a fresh session it will overwrite the tape of the rank with an empty tape.
If you then load all tapes and merge them, the get_edges() function can not match every MPI call because one tape got overwritten.

So maybe we have to re-think our merge() behavior.
Directly calling readall_and_merge() works for me.
