Should the documentation be updated?

oleotiger — Thu, 06 May 2021 12:14:49 GMT

The documentation Intel(R) MPI Library Developer Reference for Linux* OS is last updated at 04/06/2021 and the version is 2021.2, the same to the version of lastest oneapi.

But there is much gap between the documentation and intel mpi library.

For example, I cannot find description of I_MPI_EXTREME_SCALE_THRESHOLD, I_MPI_THREAD_EP_MAX. But both can be shown with impi_info. impi_info -v option shows too little to understand the meaning of the options.

Where could I get the documentation with more details?

Hello,

If these options are not documented or there are gaps as you indicated, I'd not advise to use them. Also, could you please indicate what problem are trying to solve? In other words, why are you looking into these options?

Hello,

Due to lack of responses from the customer the issue won't be tracked by Intel.
