I don't think there is an Open-MPI based solution for this.
I would probably to the following:
- place all functions using MPI calls into a separate module and
create a shared-object dynamic library (so file).
- create another .so file which contains the non-MPI equivalents of
those functions
At runtime, determine whether MPI is present. If yes, dynamically load the
MPI-functions .so, and otherwise load the Non-MPI-functions .so
However beware that you will have problems if you will use this
application on a system
whose Open-MPI has a different version than the one you compiled your
application with.
