This limit is controlled by several MCA variables. Contiguous segments larger than the btl_openib_eager_limit will use the RDMA protocol (Get) if mpi_leave_pinned is set and the RDMA RNDV (Put) protocol otherwise. Both of these protocol pin the user buffer on both sides. -Nathan On Fri, May 23, 2

[OMPI devel] Threshold for pinning down user-buffers

2014-05-23 Thread Siddhartha Jana
Hi, Is my understanding correct? While servicing MPI_Send using eager protocol over openib, there is a data-size threshold below which it is preferred to copy the contents of the user-buffer to a pre-pinned buffer instead of directly pinning down the user-buffer. If this is correct, how does one d
