# This is the default system-wide MCA parameters defaults file.
# Specifically, the MCA parameter "mca_param_files" defaults to a
# "$HOME/.openmpi/mca-params.conf:$sysconf/openmpi-mca-params.conf"
# mca_param_files is not changed, this file is used to set system-wide
# MCA parameters. This file can therefore be used to set system-wide
# default MCA parameters for all users. Of course, users can override
# for setting system-specific MCA parameters for those users who don't
# during their startup to determine what default values for MCA
# The format is straightforward: one per line, mca_param_name =
# See "ompi_info --param all all" for a full listing of Open MPI MCA
