The elegant way is to go the way you are going. Basically you need to provide open and close to the mca framework, init and finalize to the btl framework and populate all the functions defined in btl.h and btl/base/base.h. Copying an already existing btl is the best way not to forget anybody in that process. You also need to change names in makefile.am. The autogen.sh will do all the smart things and recognize and configure your new component. This is that simple :]

Hi,

I would like to make my own btl component for shared memory, and use that
instead of the sm component.

First off I would just copy the current sm component, give it another name
and see if I can get that to load instead.

Is there an elegant way of adding components, any documentation on this?

I've tried to grep for mca_btl_sm etc, but the number of files returned is daunting. Do I have to make changes all around ompi, or is there something
I'm missing? Some automagical goodness, maybe? ;)


Tanks,

-Torje
