In the LibMeshInit constructor, we test MPI_Initialized() before calling MPI_Init ourselves, so that if we're incorporated into a larger MPI-using code we won't step on their toes.
We don't currently do the same for PETSc or SLEPc. I'm going to wrap the PetscInitialize call in a similar PetscInitialized test, so that we only initialize PETSc if nobody else already has. This shouldn't break anyone's code, right? I'm not sure what to do about SLEPc - there doesn't appear to be a SlepcInitialized function. Is there some other way to test if SlepcInitialize has been called? Is it safe to call SlepcInitialize twice? Or do I need to pester slepc-maint with a feature request? --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
