Not sure I understand the problem. Your server will have the ability
to recv messages from multiple sources on the port it picks. Is there
some reason why you want to specify the port for each process?
Note that you can still do so - you just have to do it -before-
calling MPI_Init. MPI jobs exchange contact info during MPI_Init so
that the connections can be setup. Since you can only send messages
via communicator anyway, the port is completely hidden from your code
(as it should be).
However, if you -really- need to set the port of each individual rank,
you can do so by simply putting the MCA param into the environment
prior to calling MPI_Init. Something like this:
foo = "1234";
asprintf(&my_port, "OMPI_MCA_btl_tcp_port_min_v4=%s, foo);
putenv(my_port);
putenv("OMPI_MCA_btl_tcp_port_range_v4=1");
This will set a minimum port number of 1234, and tells the TCP MPI
interconnect it can only use that port.

i am thinking to use MPI_Send and MPI_Recv on this connection. One
node
will run in server mode to server data to others, only one process,
multiple
incoming connections. Just a simple (really really simple)
client/server model so i would avoid writing my own socket library for
messaging between nodes over TCP, never thought i am asking too much.
