[OMPI devel] Create a new component (for btl)

2007-10-11 Thread Torje Henriksen
Hi, I would like to make my own btl component for shared memory, and use that instead of the sm component. First off I would just copy the current sm component, give it another name and see if I can get that to load instead. Is there an elegant way of adding components, any documentation on

If you copy the sm btl, be sure to change all function names / variables from "*btl_sm_..." to "*btl__...". The OMPI configure/build/run system requires that the name of the component be the same as: - the directory that it lives in under ompi/mca/btl - the well-known component struct - th

Sorry for the duplication in devel-core. As suggested, this RFC is now posted on devel. Deadline: October 19th 2007. Short version: We need one additional field in the ompi_request_t struct which contain a callback to be called when a request complete. This callback is not intended for the
