<div>I am by far not an expert on MPI dynamic process at this point. I will point you to the MPI standards <a href="https://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/" target="_blank">https://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/</a>, in particular, chapter 10. MPICH implements most of the
 standards. Try follow the standards to see what you can do. If you hit specific problem, post back here and some one will help you. </div>
