Hi All,

We have built OpenMPI (1.8.8., 1.10.0) against Mellanox OFED 2.4 and
corresponding MXM. When it runs now, it gives the following warning, per
process:

[1443457390.911053] [myhist:5891 :0]         mxm.c:185  MXM  WARN  The
'ulimit -s' on the system is set to 'unlimited'. This may have negative
performance implications. Please set the heap size to the default value
(10240)

We have ulimits for heap (as well as most of the other limits) set
unlimited because of applications that might possibly need a lot of RAM.

The question is if we should do as MXM wants, or ignore it? Has anyone an
experience running recent OpenMPI with MXM enabled, and what kind of
ulimits do you have? Any suggestions/comments appreciated, thanks!
