Collectives
-----------
- The "hierarch" coll component (i.e., an implementation of MPI
collective operations) attempts to discover network layers of
latency in order to segregate individual "local" and "global"
operations as part of the overall collective operation. In this
way, network traffic can be reduced -- or possibly even minimized
(similar to MagPIe). The current "hierarch" component only
separates MPI processes into on- and off-node groups.
Hierarch has had sufficient correctness testing, but has not
received much performance tuning. As such, hierarch is not
activated by default -- it must be enabled manually by setting its
priority level to 100:
mpirun --mca coll_hierarch_priority 100 ...
We would appreciate feedback from the user community about how well
hierarch works for your applications.
