hi all.. i already got the results from all algorithm used in open mpi for bcast. If i want to modify binomial algorithm for example, there is a simpler way to do that? or i just need to modify "ompi_coll_tuned_bcast_intra_binomial" function, then recompile and force the system to broadcast the data using a modified binomial?? is it the right way?? thanks

This is kind of tricky to write, so we don't advertise it to widely. I added an example below, contact me privately if you need more info.
