FWIW, I agree: we use unhelpful names for components in Open MPI. What Gilles is specifically referring to here is that there are several Star Wars-based names of plugins in Open MPI. They mean something to us developers (they started off as a funny joke), but they mean little/nothing to end users. I actually specifically called out this issue in the SC'15 Open MPI BOF: http://image.slidesharecdn.com/ompi-bof-2015-for-web-151130155610-lva1-app6891/95/open-mpi-sc15-state-of-the-union-bof-28-638.jpg?cb=1448898995 This is definitely an issue that is on the agenda for the face-to-face Open MPI developer's meeting in February (https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/wiki/Meeting-2016-02). -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
