This document discusses some of the new features added to the MPICH-based MPI | ||
implementation for the Aurora computer and the environment variables (CVARs) | ||
that the user can set to modify its behavior. MPICH is configured to use | ||
sensible default values for all the environment variables to provide overall | ||
good performance. However, users can change those defaults values to better tune | ||
their applications. This report provides documentation on how those CVARS work | ||
and the possible values that they can take. This documentation also provides | ||
information about per-communicator info hints that MPICH utilizes to make | ||
runtime decisions at a finer granularity. | ||
|
||
Notice that performance of the application depends on how ranks are mapped to | ||
the cores of the processor. For information on how to specify process-core | ||
binding with mpirun, information is provided here: | ||
