[mvapich-discuss] MV2_USE_BLOCKING option trouble on MVAPICH2 all version

[sreeram potluri]

Hi Yutaka,

Regarding the issue you are seeing with BLOCKING mode:  Beyond 64 processes
mvapich2 uses on-demand mode of connection setup and the combination of
on-demand + blocking is not supported yet. We plan to add this into our next
release.

As a work around, you can set MV2_ON_DEMAND_THRESHOLD=128 during
runtime. This will turn off on-demand connection management upto 128
processes and
blocking mode should work fine. To run with larger number of processes, you
can set the MV2_ON_DEMAND_THRESHOLD accordingly.

We are still looking into the compile-time issue you are seeing. It would be
helpful if you can forward us the source code.

Please let us know if you face any other issues.

Thanks
Sreeram Potluri
