Hi Axida,
There are two ways you can call MPI_collectives.
1) Automatic decision by OpenMPI which in turn call tuned
collectives
2) Forced decision, where you can override OpenMPI to call certain
algorithms available for collective say MPI_Bcast.
The logic for 1. can be found in function
ompi_coll_tuned_bcast_intra_dec_fixed at (file
:ompi/mca/coll/tuned/coll_tuned_decision_fixed.c , line 221, version
openmpi-1.3.2).
By default, openmpi switches algo based on message size,
communicator size which they have put based on some heuristics which may
differ from one network topology to another.
In that case, i would suggest you to run benchmark programs with
2. option and fine tune the MPI Collectives suited for your cluster
architecture.

[OMPI users] OpenMPI MPI_Bcast Algorithms
Hi all,
I think there are several algorithms used in MPI_Bcast.
I am wondering how are they decided to be excuted ?
I mean, How to decide which algorithm will be used?
Is it depending on the message size or something ?
Would some people help me?
Thank you!
