[mpich-discuss] How to transfer a file to multiple machines?

[Bill Rankin]

Umm, NFS perhaps?  SMB if you are using windows shares.

Do you have any sort of shared file system between the machines in question?

As for which is the "quickest", that depends on a lot of factors - file size, access patterns on each machine (do you actually read the entire file on each node, or just pieces of it?), etc.

But for the first cut, just use a shared file system and read the file "locally".

Hi,

I am new to mpi. I want to transfer a single file to multiple systems in the quickest way possible. How can I do that? Please let me know the functions that I need to use.

Thanks,
Akshey
