swift-program.<br>> <br>> 2) Then need to use the output of this command as an input to the<br>> swift-app (remote) procedure so that it will be scheduled where the<br>> file is located (see below).<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> app read_file (file input, string machine){<br>> readperf @input "machine=" + machine;<br>> }<br>> <br>> One way is to get the location of a file in another swift-app<br>> procedure as below. But this will be executed locally/remotely through<br>> a worker.<br>> <br>> app (file outputFile) getIP (string filename){<br>> <br>> }<br>> <br>> Given that Swift run-time has access to Mosa on the head-node is there<br>> any other way to do this task with low cost (may be directly executing<br>> this command without going through a worker? ). Can I use external<br>> mappers / variable declared as external type / some other way ?<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> If you have
an example program in the repository please point me to<br>> that.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Thank you Emalayan.<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Swift-devel mailing list<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:Swift-devel@ci.uchicago.edu" href="mailto:Swift-devel@ci.uchicago.edu">Swift-devel@ci.uchicago.edu</a><br>> <a href="https://lists.ci.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swift-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ci.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swift-devel</a><br><br>-- <br>Michael Wilde<br>Computation Institute, University of Chicago<br>Mathematics and Computer Science Division<br>Argonne National Laboratory<br><br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
