Hi!!!
I am Pooja ,I am working with chaitali on this project. What we meant by Btl_Tcp is a call to btl_send that our program will give directly on the higher levels.In short we want to call BTL transport at the higher levels and so we have configure openmpi using all development header files.(So that we can call btl.h directly and use btl_tcp_send). As a result it will not be a MPI_call but a direct call from our own code. So we just want to know whether this can be done and if yes what we are thinking ahead is right and doable???
