https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-MPI-Library/Intel-MPI-and-InfiniPath-or-ConnectX/m-p/875879#M1863 <P>is it possible to use Intel MPI with InfiniPath or ConnectX adapters? I guess that "no" is the answer to the former but would expect that the latter should be supported. if it's "yes" then how? thanks!</P> Tue, 10 Jun 2008 11:14:43 GMT zok 2008-06-10T11:14:43Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-MPI-Library/Intel-MPI-and-InfiniPath-or-ConnectX/m-p/875879#M1863 <P>is it possible to use Intel MPI with InfiniPath or ConnectX adapters?

It will also include the definition of the available DAPL devices in your system inside the /etc/dat.conf file during its setup. DAPL devices are then selected using a proper Intel MPI Device specification.<BR /><BR />I strongly suggest the following link, it will provide you more details.<BR /><BR /><A href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mpi-library-for-linux-experience-with-various-interconnects-and-dapl-providers/" target="_blank">http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mpi-library-for-linux-experience-with-various-interconnects-and-dapl-providers/</A><BR /><BR />Hope it helps,<BR /><BR />-- Andres<BR /> Fri, 06 Mar 2009 00:45:34 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-MPI-Library/Intel-MPI-and-InfiniPath-or-ConnectX/m-p/875881#M1865 Andres_M_Intel4 2009-03-06T00:45:34Z
