Hi,
I have implemented a simple fault tolerant ping pong C program with MPI,
here: http://pastebin.com/7mtmQH2q
MPICH2 offers a parameter with mpiexec:
$ mpiexec -disable-auto-cleanup
.. as described here: http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/mpich2/ticket/1421
It is fault tolerant in the respect that, when I ssh to one of the nodes
in the hosts file, and kill the relevant process, the MPI job is not
terminated. Simply, the ping will not prompt a pong from the dead node,
but the ping-pong runs forever on the remaining live nodes.
Is such an feature available for openMPI, either via mpiexec or some
other means?
