[mpich-discuss] MPICH interact with RTDA

[Shuwei Zhao]

Hi hui

thanks for your response. I tried the manual mode on a simply hello world
mpi application, it works as expected.
You are pretty mind-reading. I have two follow up questions, one is that as
you said how can we detect launch failures?
another one is that except the launching part, all other things like fault
tolerance, recovery, etc will be all the same under manual mode as other
modes, nothing special under manual mode right?

Thanks
Shuwei
