Dear Pavan,

Thank you for your reply and information.
I know you are one of the authorities of MPICH as your name is written in the userguide. in my previous email, I just want to make sure.
Unfortunately, I really need this feature. Do you have any suggestion besides SCR. as far as i know, SCR needs modification to the code.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Husen

I'm sure about the fact that MPICH doesn't support BLCR anymore.  :-)  I'll make sure it's removed in the future versions of the userguide.  Thanks for pointing it out.

BLCR kernel support was from my experience about an year ago, so things might have changed in that.

We can see this information at chapter 8 in this userguide https://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/3.2/mpich-3.2-userguide.pdf.
