Is there any easy way to implement time out on reseave command, something like
PVM's pvm_trecv? Sometimes one of my nodes crashes, for reasons unrelated to
MPI, like not enough swap space when one of my cooworkers runs something heavy,
and all the other machines wait for the message from that machine. In PVM
version of my program I got a time out and can close all the files and exit,
instead of waiting for a whole weekend.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
