Greetings Josh. No, we don't have an easy way to show which plugins were loaded and may/will be used during the run. The modules you found below in -- display-map are only a few of the plugins (all dealing with the run- time environment, and only used on the back-end nodes, so it may not b

To clarify what Pasha said: AFAIK, all IB vendors have deprecated the use of their mVAPI-based driver stacks in HPC environments (I know that Cisco and Mellanox have; I'm not 100% sure about others). We all encourage upgrading to the OFED stack (currently at v1.3.1) if possible; it's much

Hi all, We had a customer using 1.2.6 with MX. We were running his jobs, some of which used the MX BTL and some used the MX MTL. He added a few more nodes to the cluster and installed the same OMPI. When we tried to run jobs that spanned the new nodes, the jobs failed. I did not keep the
