FWIW, we fixed this help message in the upcoming v1.3. The new help
message is:
mca:btl:openib:param:btl_openib_flags:help:BTL bit flags (general
flags: SEND=1, PUT=2, GET=4, SEND_INPLACE=8; flags only used by the
"dr" PML (ignored by others): ACK=16, CHECKSUM=32, RDMA_COMPLETION=128)
So 54 corresponds to PUT, GET, ACK, CHECKSUM (SEND is implied; IIRC
it's somewhat silly that we have SEND as a flag because we assume that
all BTL's can do it).
...although I see that the v1.3 message doesn't show the HETEROGENEOUS
flag, which is 256. /me goes to fix that...

Bonjour,
Working with OpenMPI 1.2.5 on RHEL5.2, I noticed a weird default
value for
this mca parameter, as printed by ompi_info:
MCA btl: parameter "btl_openib_flags" (current value: "54")
BTL flags, added together: SEND=1, PUT=2, GET=4 (cannot be 0)
Is this expected or not ?
I could understand any value between 1 & 7, but what does mean 54,
please ?
Does it behave like 6, if removal of the unexpected bits ?
Thanks, Gilbert
