Hi all,
No one replied the the original post. The one I am most curious about
is (3). Is FlowBufferSizeBytes available to the BMI implementations?
I am thinking about how to handle BMI_mx_memalloc(). I might be able
to assist the reg cache in MX if I do things a certain way.

Hi all,
A few quick questions:
1. Is there an upper bound on how many transfer operations between
a pair of hosts at any one time (i.e. between a client and host)?
2. If there is a limit in the above and it is greater than 1, is
that value the same for small (unexpected and some expected)
messages and large (expected) messages? Or are large messages
restricted to a lower value?
3. In the thread entitled "libpvfs2 usage", SamL mentioned the
tunable called FlowBufferSizeBytes and that it is set to 256KB by
default. Is this value the upper limit on large messages (i.e. 8KB
< large messages <= FlowBufferSizeBytes assuming 8 KB is the
maximum unexpected size)? Would the BMI method have any knowledge
of what this value is (i.e. can it use FlowBufferSizeBytes to
allocate large buffers)?
Thanks,
Scott
