Hi Jack, cplex.importModel(model, problemFile) basically reads the problem from "problemFile" and add its content to "model". So, I do not see any problem calling that in your code for each process. The best way is just to try it out and let us know how it goes.
With best regards, -Belaid.

Hi, thanks for your code. I have test it with a simple example file. It works well without any conflict of parallel accessing the same file. Now, I am using CPLEX (an optimization model solver) to load a model data file, which can be 200 MBytes. CPLEX.importModel(modelName, dataFileName) ; I do not know how CPLEX code handle the reading the model data file. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome. thanks Jack From: belaid_...@hotmail.com To: us...@open-mpi.org List-Post: users@lists.open-mpi.org Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 05:51:31 +0000 Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Open MPI access the same file in parallel ? Hi, You can do that with C++ also. Just for fun of it, I produced a little program for that; each process reads the whole file and print the content to stdout. I hope this helps: ---- #include <mpi.h> #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main (int argc, char* argv[]) { int rank, size; string line; MPI_Init (&argc, &argv); MPI_Comm_size (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size); MPI_Comm_rank (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank); ifstream txtFile("example.txt"); if (txtFile.is_open()) { while ( txtFile.good() ) { getline (txtFile,line); cout << line << endl; } txtFile.close(); }else { cout << "Unable to open file"; } MPI_Finalize(); /*end MPI*/ return 0; } ---- With best regards, -Belaid.

Thanks, I only need to read the file. And, all processes only to read the file only once. But, the file is about 200MB. But, my code is C++. Does Open MPI support this ? thanks From: solarbik...@gmail.com List-Post: users@lists.open-mpi.org Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 20:57:03 -0800 To: us...@open-mpi.org Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Open MPI access the same file in parallel ? Under my programming environment, FORTRAN, it is possible to parallel read (using native read function instead of MPI's parallel read function). Although you'll run into problem when you try to parallel write to the same file.

Does Open MPI allow multi processes to access the same file at the same time ? For example, all processes open the file and load data from it at the same time. Any help is really appreciated. thanks Jack Mar 9 2011 _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users -- David Zhang University of California, San Diego _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users
