Hi Ralph, Is there some reason why you don't just use MPI_Comm_spawn? This is precisely what it was created to do. You can still execute it from a singleton, if you don't want to start your first process via mpirun (and is there some reason why you don't use mpirun???).
The reason why i am using MPI_Comm_spawn and singleton is i am going to route the MPI Communication (btl and OOB) from another computer before it reaches it intended destination. :) Yes, you -could- hack the MPI code to do this. Starting from scratch, with little knowledge of the code base - figure on taking awhile. I could probably come up with a way to do it, but this would have to be a very low priority for me. I am trying to learn the OpenMPI code base and i know its going to take time. Now i need to understand how the processes are started and made part of MPI_Comm_World. I really want to do this but i need help. If you can suggest how this can be done, i would really appreciate a lot.
