Configuring smpi/IB-penalty-factors
Hi, we were looking into using the IB (Infiniband) comms model for smpi but didn't find much documentation on it except this bit:
InfiniBand network behavior can be modeled through 3 parameters smpi/IB-penalty-factors:"βe;βs;γs", as explained in this PhD thesis. http://mescal.imag.fr/membres/jean-marc.vincent/index.html/PhD/Vienne.pdf
The thesis is in French, which I unfortunately can't read. Is there an English translation? Or any documentation on what exactly those IB penalty factors mean or control?
Thank you.
