Heh -- I assume that this is an RFC, right? :-)
A quick research of the other base components in the OMPI area show
that
none of them have a *_base_debug mca parameter. They only have a
*_base_verbose parameter.
I will plan on making this change but just thought I would check
and see if
there is some historical or other reason why btl_base_debug should
*not*
be removed.
(This came up as I was trying to figure out how to turn on
verbosity for
the MX problem reported on the users list. )
I don't really have an opinion either way, but I think you can turn
on *some* debug messages by setting btl_base_verbose to (for example)
100. It looks like these messages are mainly in the BTL base
selection logic and the openib BTL.
