- There are two MPI network models available: "ob1" and "cm". "ob1"
uses BTL ("Byte Transfer Layer") components for each supported
network. "cm" uses MTL ("Matching Tranport Layer") components for
each supported network.
- There are two three MPI network models available: "ob1" / "csum" and
"cm". "ob1" and "csum" use BTL ("Byte Transfer Layer") components

- "csum" is exactly the same as "ob1", except that it performs
additional data integrity checks to ensure that the received data
is intact (vs. trusting the underlying network to deliver the data
correctly). csum supports all the same networks as ob1, but there
is a performance penalty for the additional integrity checks.
- "cm" supports a smaller number of networks (and they cannot be
used together), but may provide better better overall MPI
performance:

corresponding BTLs will be selected. Users can force the use of ob1
