The current release of Open MPI does not support running a single universe across multiple machines like you describe. We are currently working on that capability on a side branch of the OpenRTE effort and hope to begin testing it soon. Once we fully validate that functionality, we will bring i

I think I know what goes wrong. Since they are in different 'universes', they will have exactly the same 'Open MPI name', and therefore the algorithm in intercomm_merge can not determine which process should be first and which is second. Practically, all jobs which are connected at a certain p

could you provide me a simple testcode for that? Comm_join and intercomm_merge should work, I would have a look at that... (separate answer to your second email is coming soon) Thanks Edgar Robert Latham wrote: Hi I've got a bit of an odd bug here. I've been playing around with MPI process

Hi I've got a bit of an odd bug here. I've been playing around with MPI process management routines and I notied the following behavior with openmpi-1.0.1: Two processes (a and b), linked with ompi, but started independently (no mpiexec, just started the programs directly). - a and b: call MPI_
