I love Hello World programs.
The reason is simple. Whenever i code a hello world, it means i am learning something new. I once found a huge collection of hello world programs here.
And yes, i did a hello world program today. It is related cluster programming using MPI . :-) .
The code for the hello world
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi/mpi.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int err;
err = MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
printf (“Hello World\n”);
err = MPI_Finalize();
}
Since i dont have a cluster at home, i had to simulate a cluster. That can be done using the mpirun command .
hari@home:~/spider/cluster$ mpirun -np 3 a.out
Hello World
Hello World
Hello World
hari@home:~/spider/cluster$
For the first time, this asked for my password 3 times ( the number of process i mentioned ) . After that i created a keygen for myself and then things went fine . But it took a long time when i gave the number of processes as 100 .
Planning to code for a fractal using MPI in my free time :) .

Life is a beautiful poem with so many pages of lyrics written on every page. It depends on whether you sing a song with it or think it as a greek stupid probability junk and leave it .
I am gonna sing :-) :-)
Seg Fault

Wikipedia says,
A segmentation fault (often shortened to segfault) is a particular error condition that can occur during the operation of computer software. A segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (for example, attempting to write to a read-only location, or to overwrite part of the operating system).”
I have seen hundreds and hundreds of seg faults ;-) while coding for record module of LDTP and Spider SMS. But the one i saw yesterday was new, strange and fascinating. I am not sure whether i will be able to reproduce it again. The screenshot says why it is strange and fascinating :-) .

Few days back got a message from one of my friend saying ,
Hey i sent you many messages but i have not received even a single message from you . So i will delete your number … gud bye …
Well i was kind of shocked and surprised to get such a message since she was one of my best friend . I checked my inbox after i got this message and found no new messages . Cursing my bsnl network n times and the ECE enginner who would have desinged my mob another n times , i decided to call her and explain what happened .
I called her and was kind of surprised to see her laughing. I asked her ¨What happened ?¨
She asked me to read the message. I was about to explain her what happened, but something sounded fishy. So i told her that i will do that and this time the message said
Hey i sent you many messages but i have not received even a single message from you . So i will delete your number … gud bye …
Sardar sends this message to customer care ;-) Be cool Good evening .
Note :: A big time Kela but seems even she got it when she got the message ;)
So no probs :) :) . “Memories saved” :) :)

Gifts are always fun :)
Finally i managed to give a nice senti gift for alagu.
It was a small painting, but a nice one :)
But better than the painting is the small C snippet which we wrote for alagu
It goes like this
#include <lrsl.h>
#include <kadalai.h>
using namespace freenet;
#define work fun
#define alagu YAHOO MAN
int main () {
int gujjala, gujjalambal, lab :)
string alagu[] = { “deltaman”,
“npiuman”,
“Yahoo !! man “,
“dealboy”
};
cout << “It is fun to have you in sunlab !! “;
cout << “We will miss you !!! ” << endl;
}
That says it all :) .
I will surely miss him next sem :-( :-( :-( :-( :- ( …..
