That is even better!
Look forward to OMPI 1.8.4.

Hi Nathan
Thank you very much for addressing this problem.
I read your notes on Jeff's blog about vader,
and that clarified many things that were obscure to me
when I first started this thread
whining that knem was not working in OMPI 1.8.3.
Thank you also for writing that blog post,
and for sen
I want to close the loop on this issue. 1.8.5 will address it in several
ways:
- knem support in btl/sm has been fixed. A sanity check was disabling
knem during component registration. I wrote the sanity check before
the 1.7 release and didn't intend this side-effect.

Hi Jeff
Many thanks for looking into this and filing a bug report at 11:16PM!
Thanks to Aurelien, Ralph and Nathan for their help and clarifications
also.

Add a note to the FAQ explaining that in OMPI 1.8
the new (default) btl is vader (and what it is).

I think the logic enforcing this MCA param got broken when we revamped the MCA
param system. :-(

Sure.

You probably have this somewhere below, but what OS are you running? I have
CentOS6, and vader works fine for me and is much faster than the sm btl.
I can certainly ask to see if someone has time to fix the knem support - if
they do, we would definitely include the fix in the 1.8 series.

Hi All
Back to the original issue of knem in Open MPI 1.8.3.
It really seems to be broken.
I launched the Intel MPI benchmarks (IMB) job both with
'-mca btl ^vader,tcp', and with '-mca btl sm,self,openib'.
Both syntaxes seem to have turned off vader (along with tcp),
as shown in stderr by messag

Yes, Ralph, thank you, I just noticed it in my job's stderr,
after Aurelien pointed out that new "vader" thing existed.
What a quick promotion: from inexistent to default btl!
But what is "vader" after all?
Any poin

Thank you, Aurelien!
Aha, "vader btl", that is new to me!
I tought Vader was that man dressed in black in Star Wars,
Obi-Wan Kenobi's nemesis.
That was a while ago, my kids were children,
and Alec Guiness younger than Harrison Ford is today.

Are you sure you are not using the vader BTL ?
Setting mca_btl_base_verbose and/or sm_verbose should spit out some knem
initialization info.
The CMA linux system (that ships with most 3.1x linux kernels) has similar
features, and is also supported in sm.

Dear Open MPI developers
Well, I just can't keep my promises for too long ...
So, here I am pestering you again, although this time
it is not a request for more documentation.
Hopefully it is something more legit.
I am having trouble using knem with Open MPI 1.8.3,
and need your help.
