[mpich-discuss] Communicator conundrum

[Michael L. Stokes]

I do apologize if this is going to the wrong group so please recommend 
another group if inappropriate. I do see it as a possible implementation 
issue.

I have a main program that spawns an MPI process A, and a second spawn 
from main that spawns MPI process B.  What I need is to create a 
communicator between processes A and B.  I don't see a way to do this 
with the current implementation.

I do see a way to do this if the local_comm and the peer_comm arguments 
in the MPI_Intercomm_create() function called in A and B could be the 
parent_comm in both processes.  Since you can't use the same argument 
for local_comm and peer_comm in the current implementation, I don't see 
a path forward.

Am I missing something here?  Is there another way to create a comm 
between A and B?

Thanks
Mike
