I believe that the second scenario that Sriram described is incorrect: you cannot merge independent intercommunicators into a single communicator (either intra or inter).

Using MPI_Spawn, I create on designated machines child processes, retrieving an intercommunicator each time. With MPI_Intercomm_Merge it is possible to get an intracommunicatorcontaining the master process(es) and the newly spawned child process.The problem is to merge the intracommunicators into a single one. I understand there is the possibilty to use the so created intracommunicator from the first try in order to spawn the second child, merge this one into the intracomm and continue like this. This brings some considerable adminstrative overhead with it, as all already spawned children must (be informed to) participate in the spawn call. I would rather merge all intercommunicators together in the end using only the master process for spawning. Both these possibilites have been mentioned in the following post. http://www.lam-mpi.org/MailArchives/lam/2003/06/6226.php While I understand the first one, I do not follow the second - I cannot seem to find any method to merge multiple inter- or intracomms into a single intracomm.Groups cannot be used either, to collect the children and retrieve the intracomm, because this is only used for subgrouping within an alreadyexisting intracommunicator-group. Is there a way to merge them the easy way, or did I misread the post above?
