Hi George, i know this chapter :) But i'm using MPI-1, not MPI-2. I
would like to know methods for I/O with MPI-1.
Open MPI builds ROMIO by default; there's no real distinction between
MPI-1 features and MPI-2 features in the Open MPI code base.
You could always effect your own parallel IO (e.g., use MPI sends and
receives to coordinate parallel reads and writes), but why? It's
already done in the MPI-IO implementation.
FWIW: I do not believe that flock() is guaranteed to be safe across
network filesystems such as NFS.
