By peers I mean the number of MPI processes on the same host. So if you run with 4 processes on a single host, OMPI sets up shared memory for those 4 processes during MPI_INIT, regardless of whether you call MPI send/receive functions or not.

FWIW, OMPI allocates shared memory based on the number of peers on the
host.  This allocation is during MPI_INIT, not during the first
MPI_SEND/MPI_RECV call.  So even if you're running "hello world", you
could still be running out of shared memory space.

Thanks for the info. Can you define peers for me?
