Hi again, We have a number of applications interested in mixing java and mpi on clusters. (I know, shudder, but we do...) I thought before I go off and hack that I should see if work is already on-going, if quiet, for open-mpi to have a java and/or gcj binding. Clearly there might be some issues

[O-MPI users] mpi opaque object fortran type

2005-08-15 Thread Ben Allan
Hi, I deal with mixed-language c/c++/fortran codes and it appears I might be able to define an inter-language opaque reference (e.g. a Comm) as C int64t for passing to fortran and using the MPI_Comm_c2f/f2c macros to encode/decode it on the C side. The MPI standard says that on the FORTRAN side

Re: [OMPI users] how to identify openmpi in configure script

What you really want, after configure has confirmed openmpi with the macro check, is to extract the libraries listed in the output of mpif90 -v test.f that are needed. Ideally someone could update ompi_config to output the link flags for 3 cases: C++ linking without using mpicxx F90 linking with

2007-06-05 Thread Ben Allan
Jeff is right-- if you've already confirmed ompi, just use the ompi specific arguments to get the MPI LDFLAGS out. I withdraw the comment about adding a feature to ompi_info. It is unfortunate, but true, that the mpi compiler wrappers give no hint of the existence of -show, --showme:link, etc befo
