I was thinking about this exact same question later / after I sent that email. :-) I think that this higher-level abstraction CLI should *assume* shared memory and process loopback. I.e., specifying sm or vader and self should not be required. The intent is to serve the user who just wants to ensure that "my <INSERT_FAVORITE_NETWORK> network is used for MPI communications" -- and by that, users typically mean that it's used for off-server MPI communications. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
