Bah. Ignore part of that patch. The btl_rdma_pipeline_send_length is used. The other one was not. I will provide an updated patch. -Nathan From: devel [devel-boun...@open-mpi.org] on behalf of Hjelm, Nathan T [hje...@lanl.gov] Sent: Thursday, April 03, 20

What: Remove btl parameters that are no longer used. The parameters are btl_min_rdma_pipeline_size and btl_min_rdma_pipeline_size Why: I was working on a short talk talking about the various parameters that can be used for tuning Open MPI on infiniband systems and I noticed that several paramet

Would you consider a user-defined process language library outside of OpenMPI? Process functors could be defined by compositions in this external area, and maintenance of the language simply the user's responsibility? -Original Message- From: devel [mailto:devel-boun...@open-mpi.org] On Be

I can see the potential utility, but I do have concerns about how to make it work without causing a lot of user problems: * as currently implemented, it only affects procs launched via mpirun. This seems odd - if the user does a direct launch, they would get totally different behavior? Shouldn'
