Move back MPI Init/Finalize to within HPC Virtualization#551
Conversation
A top-level MPI_Init at XACC Initialize() is not ideal since we may want to use an MPI-enabled backend (without HPC Virtualization) => a global MPI_Init is not ideal. Hence, move it back to within the scope of HPCVirt decorator. Fixing a MPI_Finalize race condition issue when ExaTN MPI is present within the installation. ExaTN has `exatnInitializedMPI` variable to determine if it should do the MPI_Finalize step, hence HPC Virt should have the same mechanism to prevent HPC Virt from finalizing MPI pre-maturely and causing MPI errors during ExaTN Finalize() which could call MPI API's Signed-off-by: Thien Nguyen <thien.md.nguyen@gmail.com>

@danclaudino Could you please review this PR? This is trying to fix the MPI API usage after Finalize and an issue with double MPI_Init in some cases. |
