Re: problems installing openmpi_ext

[Francis Poulin]

Hello Michael,

Thanks for the advice.   I tried your example for starters and the good news is that it ran.  The not so good news is that it doesn't seem to stop, at least not after 5 minutes.  What output do you get if you don't mind me asking?

Cheers, Francis

Hello Michael,

Thanks for the information.  If I wanted to start to learn about the MPI package would you suggest any resources: tutorials, examples and the like that I can try out before I try programming things on my own?

Thanks again,
Francis

Hi Francis,

MPI in Octave works very much like MPI with C or Fortran, so the examples you can find in the tutorials for those languages are very useful. Attached is a simple example for octave. This shows send, receive, and Iprobe. Run it using "mpirun -np X octave --eval example" from the shell. 

For the list, I haven't been posting for a while, and I don't recall if attachments work. My apologies if messes up this message.

Cheers,

M.
