2008-09-17 Thread Gregory D Abram
I have a little program which initializes, calls MPI_Bcast, prints a message, waits five seconds, and finalized. I sure thought that each participating process would print the message immediately, then all would wait and exit - thats what happens with mvapich 1.0.0. On OpenMPI 1.2.5, though, I

[OMPI users] MPI flavor-agnostic libraries

2009-01-14 Thread Gregory D Abram
I'd like to release binary libraries that use MPI but are agnostic as to which flavor or MPI (eg. OpenMPI, MVAPICH, LAM...) that is used by the application linking the libraries. I've seen that there are some significant differences that stand in the way, for example that MPI_Comm is a pointer o
