Hi all, A few quick questions:
1. Is there an upper bound on how many transfer operations between a pair of hosts at any one time (i.e. between a client and host)?
2. If there is a limit in the above and it is greater than 1, is that value the same for small (unexpected and some expected) messages and large (expected) messages? Or are large messages restricted to a lower value?
3. In the thread entitled "libpvfs2 usage", SamL mentioned the tunable called FlowBufferSizeBytes and that it is set to 256KB by default. Is this value the upper limit on large messages (i.e. 8KB < large messages <= FlowBufferSizeBytes assuming 8 KB is the maximum unexpected size)? Would the BMI method have any knowledge of what this value is (i.e. can it use FlowBufferSizeBytes to allocate large buffers)?
