OpenMPI does this already. We use it all the time for IB vs Gig-E. You can change the weights, but I doubt you want to. Also use mx if you can. Brock Palen www.umich.edu/~brockp Center for Advanced Computing bro...@umich.edu (734)936-1985 On May 21, 2008, at 1:17 PM, Borenstein, Bernard S w

Hi Brian I ran your experiment. Changing the MMAP threshold made no difference to the memory footprint (>8GB/process out of the box, an order of magnitude smaller with --with-memory-manager=none). What does that tell us? Ciao Terry On Tue, 2008-05-20 at 06:51 -0600, Brian Barrett wrote: > Te
