[OMPI devel] how should processes be mapped to nodes?

2009-10-08 Thread Eugene Loh
If I specify two hosts and no "slots" information, processes should be started in equal numbers on the two hosts. But, how should they be ranked? "Block" or "cyclic" (round robin)? Did we change this behavior recently? % ompi_info | grep "Open MPI:" Open MPI: 1.3.4a1r22009

Okay, my e-mail below just crossed with another one explaining that behavior has recently been intentionally changed. I'll go chew on that for a while. Eugene Loh wrote: If I specify two hosts and no "slots" information, processes should be started in equal numbers on the two hosts. But, ho

Don, I think we can do something slightly different that will satisfy everybody. How about a solution where each BTL will define a limit where a message will never be shared with another BTL? We can have two such limits, one for the send protocol and one for the RMA (it will apply eithe

[OMPI devel] SC09 gatherings?

2009-10-08 Thread David Gunter
I'm making travel plans for SC09 and was wondering if there is going to be an OMPI gathering during that time. During the week would be grand but I'd hate to make plans to depart Friday (11/20) only to discover that's the date. Are there plans in the works already? -- David Gunter HPC-3:

George, This is an interesting approach although I am guessing the changes would be wide spread and have many performance implications. Am I wrong in this belief? -DON On 10/08/09 11:45, George Bosilca wrote: Don, I think we can do something slightly different that will satisfy everybody.
