Does r6774 has lot of changes that are related to 3rd generation
point-to-point? I am trying to run some benchmark tests (ex: pallas)
with Open MPI stack and just want to compare the performance figures
with MVAPICH 095 and MVAPICH 092.
Looking at the log, it looks like Tim fixed a few things to do with
probe/iprobe, and Galen added the stuff to configure to Topspin's mvapi
headers / libraries. That's probably most of what would interest you
(you can see the full log via the "svn log" command).
In order to use 3rd generation p2p communication, I have added the
following line in the /openmpi/etc/openmpi-mca-params.conf
pml=ob1
I also exported (as double check) OMPI_MCA_pml=ob1.
Note that you really only have to do one of those -- the file method is
a good/easy way to set it an forget about it. The environment variable
way is also fine (and 100% equivalent to the file method), but needs to
be set in every shell where you invoke mpirun.
