Of course !!! ;)
First set coll_tuned_use_dynamic_rules to 1, and then use
coll_tuned_dynamic_rules_filename to specify a file containing the selection
logic. This is kind of tricky to write, so we don't advertise it to widely. I
added an example below, contact me privately if you need more info.
Thanks,
george.
1 # num of collectives
3 # ID = 3 Alltoall collective (ID in coll_tuned.h)
1 # number of com sizes
64 # comm size 8
2 # number of msg sizes
0 3 0 0 # for message size 0, bruck 1, topo 0, 0 segmentation
8192 2 0 0 # 8k+, pairwise 2, no topo or segmentation
# end of first collective
