Jeff: I've tried my application with MPICH2 and OpenMPI only. The readline stuff works in OpenMPI as long as I don't start my application with mpirun. It does not work in MPICH2 irrespective of whether I start my application with mpirun or not.
My application starts on a workstation and spawns slave processes on cluster nodes. The application provides an interactive command shell and provides some GUI functionality using X. Do you know how bad is the MPI_Comm_spawn issue if I don't start my application via an mpirun? Thanks. Saadat. On 7/11/06, Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) <jsquy...@cisco.com> wrote:
Sorry for not replying earlier. It is likely that Open MPI won't work properly in this situation -- Open MPI provides basic I/O forwarding. I don't know if curses-based or readline-based applications will work through our forwarding. Do you know if this application works with other MPI implementations? ------------------------------ *From:* users-boun...@open-mpi.org [mailto:users-boun...@open-mpi.org] *On Behalf Of *s anwar *Sent:* Friday, July 07, 2006 12:46 PM *To:* Open MPI Users *Subject:* [OMPI users] readline and mpirun When I run my MPI enabled application via mpirun, my application command-prompt looses its readline editing capability.
