Hi there. I've made some tests related to the problem reported by Rodrigo. And I think, I'd rather be wrong, that *collective calls like Create and Dup do not work with Inter communicators. I've try this in the client group:*
*MPI::Intercomm tmp_inter_comm;* * * *tmp_inter_comm = server_comm.Create (server_comm.Get_group().Excl(1, &rank));* * * *if(server_comm.Get_rank() != rank)* * server_comm = tmp_inter_comm.Dup();* *else* * server_comm = MPI::COMM_NULL;* * * The server_comm is the original inter communicator with the server group. I've noticed that the program hangs in the Dup call. It seems that the tmp_inter_comm created without one process still has this process, because the other processes are waiting for it call the Dup too. What do you think?
