Siddhartha - Christoph mentioned how to change the cross-over for shared memory, but it's really per-transport (so you'd have to change it for your off-node transport as well). That's all in the FAQ you mentioned, so hopefully you can take it from there. Note that, in general, moving the eager limits has some unintended side effects. For example, it can cause more / less copies. It can also greatly increase memory usage.

Dezember 2013 13:44:12 Betreff: [OMPI users] Configuration for rendezvous and eager protocols: two-sided comm Hi In OpenMPI, are MPI_Send, MPI_Recv (and friends) implemented using rendezvous protocol or eager protocol? If both, is there a way to choose one or the other during runtime or while building the library? If there is a threshold of the message size that dictates the protocol to be used, is there a way I can alter that threshold value? If different protocols were used for different versions of the library in the past, could someone please direct me to the exact version numbers of the implementations that used one or the other protocol? Thanks a lot, Siddhartha _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org<mailto:us...@open-mpi.org> http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org<mailto:us...@open-mpi.org> http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users -- Brian W.
