Hi Thatyene,
I took a look in your code and it seems to be logically correct. Maybe
there is some problem when you call the split function having one client
process with color = MPI_UNDEFINED. I understood you are trying to isolate
one of the client process to do something applicable only to it, am I
wrong? According to open mpi documentation, this function can be used to do
that, but it is not working. Anyone have any idea about what can be?
Best regards
Rodrigo Oliveira
