Process Groups

• Need to be able to partition process name space into process groups.
• Different process groups can perform different tasks.
• The group abstraction allows library writers to design code that works for arbitrary groups.
• In MPI the group is an attribute (private variable) of the communicator.
• In MPI collective communication can be limited to the members of a specified process group.
