Re: [OMPI users] Building 32-bit OpenMPI package for 64-bit Opteron platform

Unfortunately, that's all that is available at the moment. Future releases (post 1.1) may get around this problem. The issue is that the bproc launcher actually does a binary memory image of the process, then replicates that across all the nodes. This is how we were told to implement it originally by the BProc folks. However, that means that shared libraries have problems, for obvious reasons. We have to reimplement the bproc launcher using a different approach - will take a little time.

Our current bproc launcher *really* dislikes shared libraries.... ;-) _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users
