Yes, that's right. It will launch a singleton, and then add slaves as
required. Thank you.

Let me see if I understand your question. You want to launch an initial MPI code using
mpirun or as a singleton. This code will then determine available resources and use
MPI_Comm_spawn to launch the "real" MPI job.
Correct?
If so, then yes - you can do that. When you do the comm_spawn, you need to include an MPI_Info key
of "add-host" that specifies the host(s) (comma-delimited list) to be used for launching
the specified app. Or you can do "add-hostfile" - either or both are supported.

Hi all,
Does OpenMPI support dynamic process management without launching through
mpirun or mpiexec? I need to use some MPI code in a shared-memory environment
where I don't know the resources in advance.
