Hi Brian Generally it is possible to create new communicators from existing ones (see for instance the various MPI_GROUP_* functions and MPI_COMM_CREATE)

I haven't tried it yet with spawning, but i'd think this would also be done by a rankfile > I would prefer not to use any of the MPI command-line utilities > (mpirun/mpiexec) if that's possible. If you don't like command-line utilities, you can write some graphic tool which will call mpirun or mpiexec. But somewhere you have to tell OpenMPI what to run on how many processors etc. I'd suggest you take a look at the "MPI-The Complete Reference" Vol I and II Jody On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 5:07 PM, Brian Budge <brian.bu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Jody - > > Thanks for the reply. is there a way of "fusing" intercommunicators? > Let's say I have a higher level node scheduler, and it makes a new > node available to a COMM that is already running.
