PetscSharedWorkingDirectory

Determines if all processors in a communicator share a working directory or have different ones.

Synopsis

PetscErrorCode PetscSharedWorkingDirectory(MPI_Comm comm, PetscBool *shared)

Collective

Input Parameter

• comm - MPI_Communicator that may share working directory

Output Parameter

• shared - PETSC_TRUE or PETSC_FALSE

Options Database Keys

• -shared_working_directory - indicates the directory is known to be shared among the MPI processes

• -not_shared_working_directory - indicates the directory is known to be not shared among the MPI processes

Environmental Variables

• PETSC_SHARED_WORKING_DIRECTORY - indicates the directory is known to be shared among the MPI processes

• PETSC_NOT_SHARED_WORKING_DIRECTORY - indicates the directory is known to be not shared among the MPI processes

Notes

Stores the status as a MPI attribute so it does not have to be redetermined each time.

Assumes that all processors in a communicator either

   1) have a common working directory or
   2) each has a separate working directory

eventually we can write a fancier one that determines which processors share a common working directory.

This will be very slow on runs with a large number of processors since it requires O(p*p) file opens.
