[mvapich-discuss] Support of DDN Infinite Memory Engine (IME) to ROMIO

[Sylvain Didelot]

Hi MVAPICH community,

My company (DDN storage) is developing a burst buffer technology called
IME (Infinite Memory Engine).

We recently made some patches to ROMIO, which were accepted and finally
merged into MPICH (see this link for more details about the patch
series: https://github.com/pmodels/mpich/commits?author=sydidelot).
Latest MPICH version 3.3 now officially supports IME.

We would like to see the same support of IME in MVAPICH, but we don't
know the procedure for this.

As far as I can see, MVAPICH doesn't provide a public access to the
main repository.
Do you have any plan to update MVAPICH's internal version of ROMIO
against latest ROMIO code from MPICH?
Or shall I give you a patch file to apply on top of MVAPICH 2.3?

Thanks for your help,
Regards

Sylvain Didelot,
