openmpi/ompi/mca/coll/libnbc/README
Torsten Hoefler 6b22641669 added LibNBC (http://www.unixer.de/NBC) as collv1 (blocking) component.
I know it does not make much sense but one can play around with the
performance. Numbers are available at http://www.unixer.de/research/nbcoll/perf/.
This is the first step towards collv2. Next step includes the addition
of non-blocking functions to the MPI-Layer and the collv1 interface.

It implements all MPI-1 collective algorithms in a non-blocking manner.
However, the collv1 interface does not allow non-blocking collectives so
that all collectives are used blocking by the ompi-glue layer.

I wanted to add LibNBC as a separate subdirectory, but I could not
convince the buildsystem (and had not the time). So the component looks
pretty messy. It would be great if somebody could explain me how to move
all nbc*{c,h}, and {hb,dict}*{c,h} to a seperate subdirectory.

It's .ompi_ignored because I did not test it exhaustively yet.

This commit was SVN r11401.

* TODO:
- support MPI-2 collectives
- support MPI-2 Features (MPI_IN_PLACE)
- support MPI-2 Requests (really? -> I don't think so :)
* Missing for MPI-1:
- FORTRAN Bindings
- add user defined operations (coll9, coll10, coll11, longuser)
-- how do we ensure that we do not collide with Intrinsic Operations if
we issue NBC_Ops???
-- we cannot issue NBC_Ops ... we need to issue MPI_Ops :-(.
-- hmm, we could simply wrap it and save the user defined op in a
list (hash) and search this every time we get called
--> cool idea, let's do that ...
* No Idea:
- what is wrong with nbcoll (does not work with Open MPI blocking colls)
