We have added clusters with different interconnects and decided to build one OPENMPI 1.4.3 version to handle all the possible interconnects and run everywhere. I have two questions about this :
1 - is there a way for Openmpi to print out the interconnect it selected to use at run time? I am asking for an option similar to the -prot argument in hpmpi/platform mpi to print the interconnect selected. If this is not implemented, I would like to suggest it as an enhancement. 2 - I have built Openmpi to allow tcp, mx, gm and ib. When running on a tcp only cluster and specifying -mca btl tcp,sm,self, I get errors like this [erb426:08967] Error in mx_init (error No MX device entry in /dev.) Since I am calling out the interconnect to use, why would I be getting an error like this?? Bernie Borenstein The Boeing Company
