Change default provider selection logic for the OFI MTL. The old logic was whitelist-only, so any new HPC NIC provider would have to ask users to do extra work or wait for an OMPI release to be whitelisted. The reason for the logic was to avoid selecting a "generic" provider like sockets or shm that would frequently have worse performance than the optimized BTL options Open MPI supports. With the change, we blacklist the (small, relatively static) list of providers that duplicate internal capabilities. Users can use one of thse blacklisted providers in two ways: first, they can explicitly request the provider in the include list (which will override the default exclude list) and second, the can set a new empty exclude list. Since most HPC networks require special libraries and therefore an explicit build of libfabric, it is highly unlikely that this change will cause users to use libfabric when they didn't want to do so. It does, however, solve the whitelisting problem. Signed-off-by: Brian Barrett <bbarrett@amazon.com> |
