Tahir, There are a variety of ways to create shared memory segments. I am not a Fortran expert, but do believe this is something that needs to be done from c/c++. In Open MPI we use the mmap set of routines to create the shared memory segments we use. Rich On 5/28/07 10:21 PM, "Tahir Malas

[OMPI users] Sharing an array in an MPI program?

2007-05-28 Thread Tahir Malas
Hi all, We have an 8-node cluster of SMP nodes, which have dual-quad core processors. The network is Infiniband. Each process in our parallel FORTRAN 90 program holds an identical array that is used in all parts of the program. However, when the size of the problem gets larger and larger, this memo
