Hi,
What I am asking is if I use MPI_Send and MPI_Recv between processes in
a node, does it mean using shared memory or not? if not, how to use
shared memory among processes which are runing in a node?
Thank you!

Just to clarify (since "send to self" strikes me as confusing)...
If you're talking about using shared memory for point-to-point MPI
message passing, OMPI typically uses it automatically between two
processes on the same node. It is *not* used for a process sending to
itself. There is a well-written FAQ (in my arrogant opinion!) at
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=sm -- e.g.,
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=sm#sm-btl .
If you're talking about some other use of shared memory, let us know
what you had in mind.
