If you use the C standard library function fopen, your file IO has nothing to do with MPI. You'd better check the file sharing/mapping support of the underlying OS of your MPI nodes. Do you want to check with MPI-IO?

thanks

I am working on a multi-computer MPI cluster system. 

If I put some data files in /home/mypath/folder, is it possible that all non-head nodes can access the files in the folder ? 

I need to load some data to some nodes, if all nodes can access the data, I do not need to load them to each node one by one. 

If multiple nodes access the same file to get data, is there conflict ? 

For example, 

fopen(myFile) by node 1, at the same time fopen(myFile) by node 2. 

Is it allowed to do that on MPI cluster without conflict ?

Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy. Get more from your inbox. See how.
