MPI Segmentation fault in MPI_Isend()

I'm new to MPI programming! I tried to measure the point-to-point communication bandwidth beetween to processors for practical. But now I get a Segmentation Fault! I don't understand why this is happen. I also tried valgrind on ubuntu, however no idea. So maybe someone can help me :D

thanks for the fast response, but this doesn't change the problem :( I just updated the error!

Here the source code

#include "mpi.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

 int myrank, size;
 MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
 MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &myrank);
 MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);

 int *arraySend = (int *)malloc(25000*sizeof(int));
 int *arrayRecv = (int *)malloc(25000*sizeof(int));
 double startTime = 0.0, endTime = 0.0;
 MPI_Status status,statusSend, statusRecv;
 MPI_Request requestSend, requestRecv;

 if(size != 2){
   if(myrank == 0){
       printf("only two processors!\n");
       MPI_Finalize();  
       return 0;
    }
 }

 if(myrank == 0){
     startTime = MPI_Wtime();
     MPI_Send(&arraySend, 25000, MPI_INT, 1, 0,MPI_COMM_WORLD);
 }else{
     MPI_Recv(&arrayRecv, 25000, MPI_INT, 0, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
 } 

 if(myrank == 0){
   endTime = MPI_Wtime();
   printf("100k Bytes blocking: %f Mb/s\n", 0.1/(endTime-startTime));
   startTime = MPI_Wtime();
   MPI_Isend(&arraySend, 25000, MPI_INT, 1, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &requestSend);
   MPI_Wait(&requestSend, &statusSend);
  }else{
   MPI_Irecv(&arrayRecv,25000,MPI_INT,0,0,MPI_COMM_WORLD, &requestRecv);
   MPI_Wait(&requestRecv, &statusRecv);
  }

 if(myrank == 0){
    endTime = MPI_Wtime();
    printf("100k Bytes non-blocking: %f Mb/s\n", 0.1/(endTime-startTime));
 }
 free(arraySend);
 free(arrayRecv);
 MPI_Finalize();
 return 0;
}

and here the error updated!

The size of your passed array is wrong.

sizeof(arraySend) should be simple 25000 as MPI automatically deduct the size as you define the Datatype (here MPI_INT). Only if you have a bit array you normally need sizeof() in your code.

Try to allocate the memory on the stack instead of the heap, e.g instead of:

 int *arraySend = (int *)malloc(25000*sizeof(int));

use:

int arraySend[25000];

and then use arraySend instead of &arraySend in your mpi calls.

If you could use C++ you can also use the nice boost mpi headers where the size is automatically calculated from the passed data.
