[mvapich-discuss] Preloading the libraries "LD_PRELOAD" Effect

[Kihang Youn]

Hi, everyone.

I'd like to know about the MVAPICH2 mpirun environment option "LD_PRELOAD".
Is the function of this option used to put the library on Cache (or RAM?) at startup and to gain benefits from multiple calls?

Use the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to export the path of the MVAPICH2 shared library object (libmpich.so or libmpi.so). eg: export LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libmpi.so

Our team is looking for a way to load the library used by programs running through the "vmtouch" into the cache when performing the model, and we would like to know if it can be implemented through the "LD_PRELOAD" option.

The second question may be a lazy one.
Is there any options on tuning factor that can adjust parallel performance with MVAPICH2?
I'm actually only familiar with using MPI because I'm a newbie and I don't know much about performance enhancement, but I'm going to organize the list of recommendable performance-related options with MVAPICH2 and test them, so I'd like to know if there's anything organized(PDF or URL or something).

Thank you.
