Have you looked at the self-scheduling algorithm described in "USING MPI" by Gropp, Lusk, and Skjellum.
Yes, a master-slave mode should be better for my module. In this way: 1. the master is started on node 0 and execute the Python script, the master send command to the slaves if it needs to manipulate data on a particular node. 2. the slave turns to a 'feed-me' loop after the module is loaded. It accepts something like an operation code and parameters, then look up a function and execute. My biggest problem now is that the types of operations are numerous and the programming mode would be vastly different between master and slaves. I mean, the module is written in C++ and is wrapped by SWIG so that I have complete C++ class hierarchy. How much the slaves should *undertand* the data structure is a problem. Anyway, many thanks for your suggestion. Bo
