5.2. The MPI-2 Process Model


Up: Process Creation and Management Next: Starting Processes Previous: Introduction

The MPI-2 process model allows for the creation and cooperative termination of processes after an MPI application has started. It provides a mechanism to establish communication between the newly created processes and the existing MPI application. It also provides a mechanism to establish communication between two existing MPI applications, even when one did not ``start'' the other.
