Re: [OMPI devel] Howto pause BTL's sending at runtime - hope mail is working again

2010-01-11 Thread Josh Hursey
The ft_event() function that you mentioned is part of the larger fault tolerance infrastructure in Open MPI. You need to make sure to enable it before using (if it is not enabled many of the ft_event functions default to NULL). Add '--with-ft=cr' to your ./configure line and that will enabl

Additionally, I believe that the FT system already does something like what you describe (although perhaps not exactly the same thing) -- there is a phase where the FT system pauses and quiesces all BTLs. Did you look at that part of the code, perchance, and see if it meets your needs? On Jan

You've got this a tad wrong, but that's okay - let me try to clarify a couple of things that may help. First, you don't want to add this as a separate orted command. As you noted, orte has no direct way to tell the OMPI layer to do anything. Instead, you want to pass a message to the process th

Hi again, Maybe I should give more specific information with some code snippets... Currently I added #define ORTE_DAEMON_BTL_CTL_CMD (orte_daemon_cmd_flag_t) 26 to odls_types.h to identify if I want to trigger the BTL pause. In process_commands() of orted/orted_comm.c this flag is processed fir
