See: https://ofiwg.github.io/libfabric/master/man/fi_collective.3.html Collective support was discussed a few times in the OFIWG. These target switch based collectives. The rxm provider has implemented 2-3 of the collectives, but that is actively being expanded. I would guess that most or all collectives that have been defined will likely be available in a 1.10 release (target is March). Since the collectives target offloaded support, there will likely be limitations on the software implementation. The primary goal of the software implementation is to verify the API and allow application development. Real collective optimizations would still be the responsibility of MPI. - Sean _______________________________________________ ofiwg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfabrics.org/mailman/listinfo/ofiwg
