FWIW, the default for the ib_timeout is 20 in both v1.4.x and v1.5.x. As Ralph said, ompi_info will show the current value -- not the default value. Of course, the current value will be the default value, unless it has been overridden. In OMPI v1.5, ompi_info should indicate where the value came from:
----- % ompi_info --param btl openib | grep ib_timeout MCA btl: parameter "btl_openib_ib_timeout" (current value: <20>, data source: default value) [snip] % setenv OMPI_MCA_btl_openib_ib_timeout 13 % ompi_info --param btl openib | grep ib_timeout MCA btl: parameter "btl_openib_ib_timeout" (current value: <13>, data source: environment or cmdline) ----- On Sep 12, 2011, at 10:25 AM, Shamis, Pavel wrote: >> >> * btl_openib_ib_retry_count - The number of times the sender will >> attempt to retry (defaulted to 7, the maximum value). >> * btl_openib_ib_timeout - The local ACK timeout parameter (defaulted >> to 10).
