Hi Jeff,
thanks for taking the time to answer this. I actually reached that
conclusion after trying a simple MPI::Barrier() with both OpenMPI and
Lam-MPI , where both had the same active wait kind of behaviour.
What I'm trying to achive is to have some kind of calculation
server, where the clients can connect through MPI::Intercomm to the
server process with rank 0, and transfer data so that it can perform
computation, but it seems wasteful to have a server group of processes
running at 100% while waiting for the clients.
It would be nice to be able to specify the behaviour in this
case, or do you suggest another approach?
Cheers,
Nuno
