Hi,

I got a modified version of channeloodles that contains this piece of code:

MPI_BARRIER
if (Pstream::master())
{
    myPipe.push(runTime.timeName());
    if(myPipe.pull()=="noFile" && feederStop)
    {
        Info << "!!! NO VALID INLET FOUND, ENDING RUN !!!";
        myPipe.push("exit");
        std::exit(0);
    }
}
MPI_BARRIER

The statement

myPipe.pull()=="noFile" && feederStop

is tested on the master proc only, and if it is false, the whole computation should stop immediately. This is part of a system I have written to manage DNS boundary conditions, and the "false" case corresponds to a case where no boundary conditions can be found for the current time.

MPI_BARRIER being a simple reimplementation as read in http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post234765

This piece of code works in serial execution, but in parallel run, std::exit(0) is only executed in the master proc. I would like a method so that, if the master proc detects a termination condition, all run exit. It can be noted that, while the master proc is testing the termination condition, the other procs are waiting for a reduction, as defined in MPI_BARRIER in the other thread.

I would be happy even if the run could end abruptly, all processes just have to end. Can mpirun be asked to broadcast a kill signal to all the processes, for example ?

Thank you
