Hello,

    we are using the MPI_COMM_SPAWN primitive, on different machines in
order to launch executables. We've tried to spawn a huge number of
executables but found a limit for this number.
    In fact on a COMPAQ, we crashed after more than 2000 calls to
MPI_COMM_SPAWN whereas this number was equal to 180 on an SGI o2000.
    So we just wonder how this number is set. Is it a machine dependant
number that can't be control or is it possible to set a LAM constant to
increase this number ?
    Thanks in advance,

The PALM team
