I also have another question
$ompi_info -aa|grep mpool |grep sm
  MCA coll: parameter "coll_sm_mpool" (current value: "sm", data source:
default value)
  MCA mpool: parameter "mpool_sm_allocator" (current value: "bucket", data
source: default value)

what do these names mean, and dont they have to be the same ?
