Those pointers were perfect thanks.
It easy to see the benefit of fewer qps (per node instead of per peer)
and less consumption of resources the better but I am curious about the
actual percentage of memory footprint decrease. I am thinking that the
largest portion of the footprint comes from the fragments. Do you have
any numbers showing the actual memory footprint savings when using xrc?
Just to be clear, I am not asking for you or anyone else to generate
these numbers, but if you had them already I would be curious to know
the over all savings.

Button line: XRC decrease number of QPs that ompi opens and as result
decrease ompi's memory footprint.
In the openib paper you may see more details about XRC. If you need more
details about XRC implemention
in openib blt , please let me know.

Hi,
After searching, about the only thing I can find on xrc is what it
stands for, can someone explain the benefits of open mpi's use of xrc,
maybe point me to a paper, or both?
TIA
