does anyone have a clue here ?

it varies with the receive_queues specification *and* with the number of mpi processes: memory_consumed = nb_mpi_process * nb_buffers * (buffer_size + low_buffer_count_watermark + credit_window_size )

Does it vary exactly according to your receive_queues specification?

hello,

i would like to get your input on this:
when launching a parallel computation on 128 nodes using openib and the "-mca btl_openib_receive_queues P,65536,256,192,128" option, i observe a rather large resident memory consumption (2GB: 65336*256*128) on the process with rank 0 (and only this process) just after a call to MPI_Init.

i'd like to know why the other processes doesn't behave the same:
- other processes located on the same nodes don't use that amount of memory
- all others processes (i.e. located on any other nodes) neither

i'm using OpenMPI-1.4.2, built with gcc-4.3.4 and '--enable-cxx-exceptions --with-pic --with-threads=posix' options.

thanks for your help,
éloi
