Re: [myrinet] Re: [myrinet]

Wyx,

I think it is fair to say that BIP and other research
layers have some advantages over GM, depending
upon what they were optimized for.  BIP is optimized
for low latency for small messages, and does not
achieve as high a bandwidth on large messages,
for example.  It achieves its aims by reducing the
level of resource management and handshaking
between sending and receiving nodes.  GM is
probably the best general use choice, and you
should only deviate from that if you have extreme
requirements.  That said, we are considering...
