Re: [OMPI users] Infinipath context limit

Hi Daniel -- PSM should determine your node setup and enable shared contexts accordingly, but it looks like something isn't working right. You can apply the patch I've attached to this e-mail and things should work again. However, it would be useful to identify what's going wrong. C

Re: [OMPI users] openmpi credits for eager messages

2008-02-04 Thread Christian Bell
The words 'eager', 'rendezvous' or 'credit' have a specific resonance only for implementors and i think it's correct that the MPI specification sidestep these words since they are artifacts of implementation. All implementations make their own guarantees and run into their own different limitation

Re: [OMPI users] Performance of MPI_Isend() worse than MPI_Send() and even MPI_Ssend()

2007-10-15 Thread Christian Bell
By using non-blocking communications, you choose to expose separate initiation and synchronization MPI calls such that an MPI implementation is free to schedule the communication in any way it wants between these two points (while retaining MPI semantics). At your advantage, this may mea

Re: [OMPI users] Rank to host mapping

How about a hostfile such as % cat -n ~/tmp/hostfile 1 node0 2 node0 3 node1 4 node0 5 node1 6 node1 Looks like the function to express the mapping is not anything simple. If it's an expressible function but too complicated for open mpi, you'll have to make yo
