Note that "eager" RDMA is only used for short messages -- it's not really relevant to whether the same user buffers are re-used or not (the mpi_leave_pinned parameter for long messages is only useful if long buffers are re-used). See this FAQ item: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=ope

Hello all. It would seem that the documentation, at least the FAQ page at http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=slurm is a little out of date with respect to running on newer versions of SLURM (I just got things working with version 1.3.3) . According to the SLURM documentation, srun -A is dep

Hi, i'm testing SKaMPI Benchmark on IBM Blade System over Infiniband. Current version of OpenMPI is 1.2.6 I have tried to disable RDMA setting btl_openib_use_eager_rdma = 0.

2008-06-05 Thread Samuel Sarholz
Hi Jeff, This suggests that perhaps 1.2.6 was configured with --enable-static or --disable-dlopen. If either of these two options were used, OMPI will suck all the plugins to become part of libmpi (and friends), and therefore the plugins' dependencies will therefore become dependencies o

If I correctly understand how you run your application I think I know where the problem is coming from. In few words you're using buffered send over shared memory. First, buffered send has only one main benefit, it double the amount of memory required for the communication. A side effect is
