Hi jeff,
thanks for your comprehensive reply.
I have installed openMPI alpha 7 release. I created an MPI programs with
pthreads. I ran with just 6 process, each thread making MPI calls concurrently
with main thread. Things work fine . I use a TCP network.
Some times i get a strange error message.
I am sending some output of my program.

Sometimes i get this error message, and sometimes not. I can say in a run of
7 i get once. But i get the output properly and the program works fine. I
just wanted to know why that occured?
Another one, i tried to get verbose output from "mpirun", but couldnt. Even
"mpiexec". I was using the same command as
mpirun -v -np 6 myprogram in lam, i used to get the verbose saying which
process is running where. Here nothing happens.
What is the problem? Otherwise how can i know what process is running on what
node? Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance,,
Regards,
Imran

MPI_THREAD_MULITPLE is "somewhat" supported, meaning that support for it was

there is likely to still be bugs when using multiple user threads with
MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE.
fork() is not technically supported by the MPI standard. If you *need* to
fork(), you might want to look at alternate mechanisms if you need to move
between multiple MPI implementations because support for it is not likely to
be portable.
Within Open MPI, fork() will almost certainly fail if you use the OS-bypass
networks (Myrinet, InfiniBand). The mechanisms that these networks use for
high-speed/low latency are quite problematic with fork(). If you are using
tcp or shared memory, fork() *might* work, but this is not something that we
have extensively tested.

Hi,
I am a newbie to OpenMPI.
Can anyone say how the support for MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE is implemented in
openMPI?
Is thread safety completely provided in openMPI? or does it still has some
bugs?
I am currently using LAM/MPI.But i need concurrent threads making MPI
calls. So i am planning to move to another implementation of MPI. Can i
choose openMPI?
Also, is "fork"(for child preoces creation) still a no-no in openMPI too?
Can a child process(forked) make concurrent MPI calls along with its parent
?
