    Hi Jeff,<br>
    <br>
    Thank you for your reply, I think the MPI_COMM_Spawn is for
    generating new processes but I need to add more node or cores after
    pausing the job, am I right ?<div><div class="h5"><br>

          Do you mean you want to change number of hosts during one MPI

          restart it with more node numbers ?<br>
