I have to implement an MPI program. There are some global variables (4 arrays of float numbers and other 6 single float variables) which are first inizialized by the main process reading data from a file. Then I call MPI_Init and, while process of rank 0 waits for results, the other processes (rank 1,2,3,4) work on the arrays etc... The problem is that those array seem not to be initialized anymore, all is set to 0. I tried to move global variable inside the main function but the result is the same. When MPI_Init() is called all processes are created by fork right? So everyone has a memory copy of the father so why do they see not initizialized arrays?
