Hi,

For an 'embarrassingly parallel' problem, I'm using several machines running
LAM/MPI (7.0.4 if that matters). The machines are scattered around and are
managed separately.

My current setup is based on the Mandelbrot example.

The main shortcoming of this code is that I can't add and remove machines
while the program is running.

I would like to have a client/server style setup that can handle machines
joining and leaving the pool of available machines (i.e. using lamgrow and
lamshrink) so that the server will assign/reassign work to them as well.

Any help / pointers / example will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Fund.
