Description

mpiP generates the profile if a program ends completely. Is it possible to generate the profile after some time as many codes either never completes (generate intermediate files) or have some programming issues. This would be helpful to debug the slow/hung applications to identify what communication operations were used and in what message range. A simple environment variable might be implemented to trigger the writing of the mpiP report at some specified time.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating where mpiP writes its report and how the application lifetime is observed, then assess a timed trigger for intermediate reports. Done means a hanging or long-running MPI program can produce a profile after the requested interval without waiting for normal completion.
