Information about backend support missing? #43
Comments
The project is maintained (bugs will be fixed) but not developed (features will not be added). Once the feature set I proposed made it into MPI 4.0, I moved on to other things. Many of the back-ends for MPI, e.g. UCX, already support If you find things don't work somewhere, please report them and I'll do my best to help. I have access to a pretty good range of hardware. |
Wow - fast feedback, and great offer too! At the moment, I was considering that I might just be able to incorporate some of your bigmpi ideas without the whole thing, since we already have an encapsulated interface to MPI. It looks like would "only" need to mimic your conditional creation of the new MPI datatype and then test, test, test. In your code you have the |
yes, allowing others to borrow what they need from BigMPI and integrate into their own projects to avoid another dependency was an explicit design goal.

Although this project looks somewhat dead, I did have some questions:
The idea of chucking really large messages into a new data type looks quite appealing. However, it's not clear if the various backends (eg, infiniband) would actually support sizes greater than 2^31.
Any central information about this available?
