Hi All,
I am waiting on some inputs on my query. I just wanted to know
whether I can run dynamic child processes using 'MPI_Comm_spawn' on
remote hosts? (in openmpi 1.3.2)). Has anyone did that successfully?
Or OpenMPI hasnt implemented it yet?
Please help.

Hi,
I am trying to create a library using OpenMPI for an SOA middleware
for my Phd research. "MPI_Comm_spawn" is the one I need to go for.
I got a sample example working, but only on the local host.
Whenever I try to run the spawned children on a remote hosts,
parent cannot launch children on remote hosts and I get the
following error message:

There are no allocated resources for the application

Verify that you have mapped the allocated resources properly using the
--host or --hostfile specification.

There may be more information reported by the environment (see above).
This may be because the daemon was unable to find all the needed
shared
libraries on the remote node. You may set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
have the
location of the shared libraries on the remote nodes and this will
automatically be forwarded to the remote nodes.

I use the reserved keys - 'host' & 'wdir' - to set the remote host
and work directory using MPI_Info. Here is the code snippet:
--------------------------BEGIN Code
Snippet-----------------------------------
MPI_Info hostinfo;
MPI_Info_create(&hostinfo);
MPI_Info_set(hostinfo, "host", "myhost");
MPI_Info_set(hostinfo, "wdir", "/home/jaison/mpi/advanced_MPI/
spawn/lib");
// Checking for 'hostinfo'. The results are okay (see above)
int test0 = MPI_Info_get(hostinfo, "host", valuelen, value, &flag);
int test = MPI_Info_get(hostinfo, "wdir", valuelen, value1, &flag);
printf("Host is: %s\n", value);
printf("WorkDir is: %s\n", value1);
sprintf( launched_program, "launched_program" );
MPI_Comm_spawn( launched_program, MPI_ARGV_NULL , number_to_spawn,
hostinfo, 0, MPI_COMM_SELF, &everyone,
MPI_ERRCODES_IGNORE );
--------------------------END OF Code
Snippet-----------------------------------
I've set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly. Is "MPI_Comm_spawn"
implemented in open mpi (I am using version 1.3.2)? If so, where am
I going wrong? Any input will be very much appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
