[mpich-discuss] Question/problem with MPI mvapich hydra.

[Darius Buntinas]

Look at Section 7 (Fault Tolerance) in the README file.  This should explain how to do this.  One thing that the README isn't clear about is that the list of failed processes is not updated immediately when the signal handler is called, so the application should call the progress engine (e.g., by calling Iprobe) after returning from the signal handler before reading the list of failed processes in order to make sure it has been updated.
