Version: 5.0.6-3

Dear Maintainer,

UCX is disabled in /etc/openmpi/openmpi-mca-params.conf by
no-warning-unused.patch:

https://sources.debian.org/src/openmpi/5.0.6-3/debian/patches/no-warning-unused.patch/

with the motivation to silence warnings when RDMA devices are not available:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=980033
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/8367

Could UCX be re-enabled? I believe recent versions should no longer produce
these messages.

Re-enabling would also restore OpenMPI's default behavior of selecting UCX
for Infiniband-enabled systems. At the moment, OpenMPI is falling back to
ob1 for Infiniband communication, which has been significantly less
performant in our testing.

To enable UCX, we're adjusting /etc/openmpi/openmpi-mca-params.conf from:

mtl = ^ofi
btl = ^uct,openib,ofi
pml = ^ucx
osc = ^ucx,pt2pt

to:

mtl = ^ofi
btl = ^openib,ofi
osc = ^pt2pt

I couldn't comment on openfabric/openib.
