HPC++ Examples
Global Pointer to a class example (Source Code)
This example illustrates how two process (master and slave) attach to each other, invoke remote functions, and share data throught
hpc++ global pointers. The slave process starts up registers its data and waits for the master to release it with a kill message. The
master process starts up, connects to the slave, askes for a global pointer to its data, retrieves the data from the slave process and
tells the slave to die.
This is an example of pulling performance information from the tau profiling library off of a running process. The main process called
simple is an example that comes with tau, with added instrumentation for HPC++. The master process conects to the simple process,
gets a global pointer to the function database, then loops over the database asking for the function names, printing them out
on the otherside.
This example illustrates a major problem with the existing HPC++ distribution. You cannot create a HPC++ Global Pointer
to a template. However, there is a work around. To accomplish this in HPC++ you need to write a wrapper class for your templeted class.
