Extended Device Control Options

-rdma

Use this option to select an RDMA-capable network fabric. The application attempts to use the first available RDMA-capable network fabric from the list: dapl,ofa. If no such fabric is available, another fabric from the list tcp,tmi,ofi is used. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST dapl,ofa,tcp,tmi,ofi -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 1.

-RDMA

Use this option to select an RDMA-capable network fabric. The application attempts to use the first available RDMA-capable network fabric from the list: dapl,ofa.

-DAPL

Use this option to select a DAPL-capable network fabric. The application fails if no such fabric is found. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST dapl -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 0.

-ib

Use this option to select an OFA-capable network fabric. The application attempts to use an OFA-capable network fabric. If no such fabric is available, another fabric from the list dapl,tcp,tmi,ofi is used. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST ofa,dapl,tcp,tmi,ofi -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 1.

-IB

Use this option to select an OFA-capable network fabric. The application fails if no such fabric is found. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST ofa -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 0.

-tmi

Use this option to select a TMI-capable network fabric. The application attempts to use a TMI-capable network fabric. If no such fabric is available, another fabric from the list dapl,tcp,ofa,ofi is used. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST tmi,dapl,tcp,ofa,ofi -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 1.

-TMI

Use this option to select a TMI-capable network fabric. The application fails if no such fabric is found. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST tmi -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 0.

-mx

Use this option to select the Myrinet MX* network fabric. The application attempts to use the Myrinet MX* network fabric. If no such fabric is available, another fabric from the list dapl,tcp,ofa,ofi is used. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST tmi,dapl,tcp,ofa,ofi -genv I_MPI_TMI_PROVIDER mx -genv I_MPI_DAPL_PROVIDER mx -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 1.

-MX

Use this option to select Myrinet MX* network fabric. The application fails if no such fabric is found. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST tmi -genv I_MPI_TMI_PROVIDER mx -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 0.

-psm

Use this option to select a PSM-capable network fabric: Intel® True Scale Fabric or Intel® Omni-Path Fabric in PSM-compatibility mode. The application attempts to use a PSM-capable network fabric. If no such fabric is available, another fabric from the list dapl,tcp,ofa,ofi is used. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST tmi,dapl,tcp,ofa,ofi -genv I_MPI_TMI_PROVIDER psm -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 1.

-PSM

Use this option to select a PSM-capable network fabric: Intel® True Scale Fabric or Intel® Omni-Path Fabric in PSM-compatibility mode. The application fails if no such fabric is found. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST tmi -genv I_MPI_TMI_PROVIDER psm -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 0.

-psm2

Use this option to select the Intel® Omni-Path Fabric. The application attempts to use the Intel® Omni-Path Fabric. If no such fabric is available, another fabric from the list dapl,tcp,ofa,ofi is used. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST tmi,dapl,tcp,ofa,ofi -genv I_MPI_TMI_PROVIDER psm2 -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 1.

-PSM2

Use this option to select the Intel® Omni-Path Fabric. The application fails if no such fabric is found. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST tmi -genv I_MPI_TMI_PROVIDER psm2 -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 0.

-ofi

Use this option to select an OpenFabrics Interfaces* (OFI*) capable network fabric. The application attempts to use an OFI-capable network fabric. If no such fabric is available, another fabric from the list tmi,dapl,tcp,ofa is used. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST ofi,tmi,dapl,tcp,ofa -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 1.

-OFI

Use this option to select an OFI-capable network fabric. The application fails if no such fabric is found. This option is equivalent to the setting: -genv I_MPI_FABRICS_LIST ofi -genv I_MPI_FALLBACK 0.
