George, I made some tests with the libevent but probably I´m doing something wrong... because it does not work. struct timeval time; opal_event_t *ev; ev = (opal_event_t*)malloc(sizeof(opal_event_t)); opal_evtimer_set(ev, my_func, NULL); time.tv_sec = 10; time.tv_usec = 0;

Leonardo, All events generated by the libevent are catched internally by the ompi library, but are not propagated until the next call to opal_progress. If you want to use alarms that trigger outside the opal_progress you will have to deal directly with the libevent (and not use

Hi All, Does the libevent works with an application which does not communicate? i.e. I have an application which does not receive or send messages for a long time, but on the PML layer a have defined some event using the ORTE_TIMER_EVENT(time, func) macro. This macro will be should be called

Hi everyone, Thank you all for your replies. I've now read those additional papers and went through the slides of the Open MPI workshop. I'm still a bit hazy on the architecture of Open MPI (especially relevant to my project) so what I've done is written what I think I understand about process to

I do not think anyone will have a problem with this, but just thought I would mention that I am planning on adding an additional interface to the excluded list for the tcp btl. I want to add "sppp" to the list. This is an internal interface to one of our servers and needs to be treated like

It bothers me a bit that the OMPI RTE library is called by a prior name, and based on these reactions, we're likely to be stuck with this name for a long time. I guess I'll cope. On Nov 7, 2008, at 7:38 AM, Ralph Castain wrote: Just in case anyone wonders: I can understand Jeff's

Just in case anyone wonders: I can understand Jeff's motivation to rationalize the libraries name with what is in it. There is no "OpenRTE" any more - it has truly become the "OMPI RTE" - so I sympathize with what he was trying to do. That said, I truly don't have strong feelings either

I do not see the real value in doing this name change. The name "OMPI Run Time Environment" and libopen_rte.so are not that far from each other. Changing a bunch of Makefile.am's at this point in the game for what I consider a minor cosmetic difference just makes little sense to me. On the
