Hi,
I am looking too for a file example of rules for dynamic collectives,
Have anybody tried it ? Where can I find a proper syntax for it ?
thanks.
Lenny.

    Hi Gus,
    I played with collectives a few months ago. Details are here
    http://www.cse.scitech.ac.uk/disco/publications/WorkingNotes.ConnectX.pdf
    That was in the context of 1.2.6

    You can get available tuning options by doing
    ompi_info -all -mca coll_tuned_use_dynamic_rules 1 | grep alltoall
    and similarly for other collectives.

    Best,
    Igor
