I don't see why you call BTL/IB a MPI call, but BTL/TCP is non-MPI. The BTL components are used to provide MPI data transport. Depending on your installed hardware, this transport can be done via IB, Myrinet or at least TCP. Open MPI is even able to mix multiple transports and do message striping. I suggest you read the comments in pml.h to make things clear. Don't get confused, they still use the old terminology 'PTL' instead of 'BTL', but just consider them to be equal. -- Cluster and Metacomputing Working Group Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany private: http://adi.thur.de
