Source: openmpi Severity: wishlit Hello,
Open MPI can support checking API application input/output, by passing --enable-memchecker to ./configure. When not running in valgrind, this just adds some nop-like instructions which don't affect the overall MPI performance. When running in valgrind, this provides very useful information on application bugs, so it would be very useful to have it in Debian, at least as a variant.
