Re: [OMPI users] how to make a process start and then join a MPI group

Perhaps I am doing something wrong. The childrens' calls to MPI_Intercomm_merge never return. Here's the chronology (with 2 children): parent calls MPI_Init parent calls MPI_Comm_spawn child calls MPI_Init child calls MPI_Init parent call to MPI_Comm_spawn returns (long pause inserted) parent

Add the following flags to your configure line. --disable-dlopen --disable-shared --enable-static --with-mx=/some/path/ to/mx/lib Even if everything is compiled static, the selection logic (as well as the mca parameters --mca btl=tcp,mx,self...) will continue working as usual. Last,

We now have a cluster with myrinet and another cluster with tcp. I want to build a static OPENMPI that will detect if there is myrinet on the cluster and use that, if myrinet is not available, run with tcp. I see the --enable-mca-static option but am confused as to how to use it for what I want

In addition to what Pasha said, keep in mind that Open MPI implements the standardized MPI API. There are many books and web tutorials available about MPI. There's a few at NCSA, for example: http://ci-tutor.ncsa.uiuc.edu/browse.php?category=-1=MPI=all=Filter On Jul 27, 2008, at
