George can speak more definitively about this. In general, our "tuned" coll component (plugin) does exactly these kinds of determinations to figure out which algorithm to use at runtime. Not only are communicator process counts involved, but also size of message is considered. I count 5 d

[OMPI users] all2all algorithms

2009-04-12 Thread Tom Rosmond
I am curious about the algorithm(s) used in the OpenMPI implementations of the all2all and all2allv. As many of you know, there are alternate algorithms for all2all type operations, such as that of Plimpton, et al (2006), that basically exchange latency costs for bandwidth costs, which pays big di
