I am running up-to-date cygwin on W10 on a 4x i5 processor, including gcc 5.3.
I built libcaf_mpi.a provided by OpenCoarrays. $ cat hello.f90 program hello implicit none print *, "Hello from", this_image(), & "out of", num_images(), "images." end program hello I compiled the hello.f90 with $ mpifort -fcoarray=lib hello.f90 libcaf_mpi.a and ran it with $ time mpirun -np 4 ./a Hello from 1 out of 4 images. Hello from 2 out of 4 images. Hello from 3 out of 4 images. Hello from 4 out of 4 images. real 0m42.733s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <-------------------- user 0m0.201s sys 0m0.934s So I am getting this long startup delay. The same thing happens with other coarray programs. Any ideas? BTW, I know almost nothing about MPI :-(. Thanks. -- Walt Brainerd
