George will have to answer that in detail, but note that if you modify the tuned coll module source code, you can simply "make install" in ompi/mca/coll/tuned. That will re-build the coll tuned module and install it in the plugin directory. You don't even need to recompile your MPI app, since all of the coll tuned module is dynamically opened at run-time.
That's *much* faster than re-compiling/re-installing the whole of Open MPI. w00t. :-) On May 7, 2012, at 4:24 AM, roswan ismail wrote: > hi all.. > i already got the results from all algorithm used in open mpi for bcast.
