I'm not sure I understand what's required, but is this what you're after? $ ompi_info --param shmem all -l 9|grep priority MCA shmem: parameter "shmem_mmap_priority" (current value: "50", data source: default, level: 3 user/all, type: int) MCA shmem: parameter "shmem_posix_priority" (current value: "40", data source: default, level: 3 user/all, type: int) MCA shmem: parameter "shmem_sysv_priority" (current value: "30", data source: default, level: 3 user/all, type: int) >> In the spirit OMPI - may the force be with you. >> >> > All I will say here is that Open-MPI has a Vader BTL :-) Whatever that might mean.
