2007-07-27 Thread Lisandro Dalcin
The MPI-2 standard says (see bottom of ) MPI_WIN_GET_GROUP returns a duplicate of the group of the communicator used to create the window. associated with win. The group is returned in group. Pease, note the 'duplicate' ... Well, it

Re: [OMPI devel] COVERITY STATIC SOURCE CODE ANALYSIS

It's been finalized: Coverity has formally joined the Open MPI Project as a Partner (OMPI web page updates will come soon). They will be running the Open MPI source code base through their tools on a regular basis and making the results available to Members of the Open MPI project. The s

You were limpid. What we're trying to say here, it's that the solution you described few emails ago, doesn't work. At least it doesn't work for what we want to do (i.e. what Aurelien described in his first email). We [really] need 2 separate MPI worlds, that we will connect at a later momen

Re: [OMPI devel] Hostfiles - yet again

2007-07-27 Thread Ralph Castain
Guess I was unclear, George - I don't know enough about Aurelien's app to know if it is capable of (or trying to) run as one job, or not. What has been described on this thread to-date is, in fact, a corner case. Hence the proposal of another way to possibly address a corner case without disruptin

Re: [OMPI devel] [RFC] New command line options to replace persistent daemon operations

2007-07-27 Thread Aurelien Bouteiller
I basically agree with Terry, even if your proposal would solve all the issue I currently face. I think we need to read the MPI2 standard to make sure we are not on the brink of breaking the standard. Aurelien On Jul 27, 2007, at 10:13 , Ralph Castain wrote: On 7/27/07 7:58 AM, "Terry

Re: [OMPI devel] Hostfiles - yet again

2007-07-27 Thread George Bosilca
It's not about the app. It's about the MPI standard. With one mpirun you start one MPI application (SPMD or MPMD but still only one). The first impact of this, is all processes started with one mpirun command will belong to the same MPI_COMM_WORLD. Our mpirun is in fact equivalent to the mp

[OMPI devel] minor bug report for building openmpi-1.2.3 on cygwin

2007-07-27 Thread Andrew Lofthouse
Hi, I've just built and installed openmpi-1.2.3 on cygwin. It seems that most files depend on opal/mca/timer/windows/timer_windows.h, but opal/mca/timer/windows/timer_windows_component.c depends on opal/timer/windows/timer_windows_component.h (which doesn't exist). I simply copied timer_win
