From: Jason Jones Newsgroups: comp.parallel.pvm Subject: Problem with pvm_addhost Date: Fri, 05 Feb 1999 02:17:53 +0000 Organization: University of Wales Swansea Message-Id: <36BA54D0.BDA7F15@swansea.ac.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Xref: ukc comp.parallel.pvm:7975 I am currently writing a program using a Master-Slave concept where the slaves sit in a blocking receive (using pvm_recv) waiting for instructions from the master in order to perform their tasks. The problem I have come across is when trying to add a new host using pvm_addhosts(). Each of the slaves seem to crash out of the pvm_recv() command with an error message PvmSysErr. Just in case it only happened while the host was being added I put a loop around the pvm_recv() hoping it would start working after the host had been added but it just kept returning PvmSysErr. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? If not, then how am I meant to make use of the dynamic virtual machine capabilities of PVM?
