Hello, It seems to me there is only one way to create a communication between two MPI_COMM_WORLD : use MPI_Open_Port with a specific IP + port address, and then MPI_comm_connect / MPI_comm_accept.
In order to ease the port number communication, the use of MPI_publish-name / MPI_lookup_name is also possible with the constraint that the "publish" must be done before the "lookup", and this involves some synchronization between the processes anyway. Simple examples can be found in the handbook on MPI : "Using MPI-2" by William Gropp et al. Best Regards, Jean Ali Eghlima wrote:
Hello,I have read MPI-2 documents as well as FAQ. I am confused as the best way to establish communication between two MPI_COMM_WORLD which has been created by two mpiexec calls on the same node.mpiexec -conf config1 This start 20 processes on 7 nodes mpiexec -conf config2 This start 18 processes on 5 nodes I do appreciate any comments or pointer to a document or example.
