Thanks Brian. One thing is - If we want to use 3rd generation p2p communication, we can either export OMPI_MCA_pml=ob1 or we can add "pml=ob1" in the file openmpi-mca-params.conf.
I have done both and ran Pallas bench mark. Is anyone got a chance to run Pallas with the recent code drop? I am using r6760M code drop. Pallas can be run with in the node which has got 2 processors. -Sridhar -----Original Message----- From: devel-boun...@open-mpi.org [mailto:devel-boun...@open-mpi.org] On Behalf Of Brian Barrett Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 7:12 PM To: Open MPI Developers Subject: Re: [O-MPI devel] Fwd: Regarding MVAPI Component in Open MPI On Aug 9, 2005, at 8:04 AM, Jeff Squyres wrote: > On Aug 9, 2005, at 7:24 AM, Sridhar Chirravuri wrote: > >> I have disabled building OpenIB and to do so I have touched >> .ompi_ignore.

But of course - we can cook your breakfast as well ;). You can explicitly disable a component using the --enable-mca-no- build=NAME. I know the syntax is a bit wonky, but Autoconf doesn't make this easy :(. Since you want to disable Open IB, you might do something like: ./configure [rest of options] --enable-mca-no-build=bml-openib Does something bad happen if you try to build with the Open IB component enabled? If so, could you let us know what happens? Galen and I are trying to make sure we have all the BTL configure scripts tightened up before we release to the world. If it's just something about your test environment, no biggie - just want to make sure we don't have a real problem. Since you only are interested in the MVAPI port and therefore not at all interested in the TEG PML (the older generation of communication interface), you can build with: ./configure [rest of options] --enable-mca-no-build=bml-openib,pml- teg,pml-uniq which will cause the older generation PMLs to not be built. I think this is probably going to make life easiest on you. > >> Is there any thing that I am missing while building btl mvapi? Also, >> is anyone built for mvapi and tested this OMPI stack.

I think that most of your problems will go away once you start using the OB1 PML and therefore actually start using the MVAPI interface. I know that both Galen and I have been running a slightly modified copy of the Intel test suite against the MVAPI driver on a fairly regular basis. There are one or two minor datatype issues that still need to be worked out, but we should pass all the point to point tests.
