2013-01-23 Thread Barrett, Brian W
That's not entirely true; there's some state that's required to be held by the RTE framework (the ompi_process_info structure), but it's minimal and does not scale with number of peers in a job. In terms of interface, there's now three MPI frameworks which encompass the set of functionality the MP

2013-01-23 Thread Ralph Castain
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. There is no state at all in the MPI layer - just a set of function calls. Each component in the ompi/mca/rte framework is required to map those function calls to their own implementation. The function calls themselves are just a rename of the curren

Hi Jeff, To summarize the out-of-line assembler changes of this patch: - The patch is functionally correct for ARMv7 (which we know, because the code doesn't change from the existing sources, it simply renames the file). - It also appears to be functionally correct for ARMv6, given reports of

Are you going to develop anything further with regards to this functionality, and target that stuff for v1.7? Or should all of this just wait until 1.9? (I don't really care either way; I'm asking out of curiosity) On Jan 22, 2013, at 7:24 PM, George Bosilca wrote: > Nobody cared about error

Brian, First - thanks. I am very happy this is proceeding. General question here - do you have any idea how much global state sits behind the current implementation ? What I am trying to gauge at what level of granularity one can bring in additional capabilities. I have not looked in deta
