Hi Valmor,

I prefer to just set the environment variable in my .bashrc so I never have to think about it again. Also it might be slightly better since Open MPI tries to be network neutral, and linking the application against the Myrinet libraries violates that principle. But if you are only ever going to use the particular compilation with Myrinet anyways, I suppose it does not matter.

I guess this is a long way of saying that it is just personal preference.

Hope this helps,

Tim

Hello,

I am getting the warnings after an upgrade to mx-1.2.4 and openmpi-1.2.4.

Either using the env variable setting MX_RCACHE=2, or linking the
application with -lmyriexpress removes the warnings.
Is either one of them the preferred way of doing it?

Thanks,

Tim, starting with the recently released 1.2.1, it is the default.
To clarify, MX_RCACHE=1 is the default.
It would be good for the default to be something where there is no
warning
printed (i.e. 0 or 2). I see the warning on the current trunk.

After further discussion in-house, the warning can be avoided if -
lmyriexpress is included when linking the app (i.e. if it is in mpicc
when linking).

Another clarification, the regache does work with several replacement
malloc libraries. If the user application overloads mmap(), munmap()
and sbrk(), then it may or may not work. In this case, the user
should use MX_RCACHE=0.
