Hi, I tested on our cluster (UTK). I will give a thumb up but I have some comments.
What I understand with 4.0. - openib btl is disabled by default (can be turned on by mca) - pml ucx will be the default for infiniband hardware. - btl uct is for one-sided but can also be used for two sided as well (needs explicit mca). My question is, what if the user does not have UCX installed (but they have infiniband hardware). The user will not have fast transport for their hardware. As of my testing, this release will fall back to btl/tcp if I dont specify the mca to use uct or force openib. Will this be a problem?
