You can set the environment variable MPIR_CVAR_CH3_NOLOCAL=1 to force this in 3.0.4 and newer versions. Ken On 11/21/2016 11:15 PM, Kevin Buckley wrote:

Apologies in advance, as this seems so basic that I can't belive I can't find it in the docs, however, I can't find it in the docs.

I have just built an MPICH 3.0.4 and have used it to compile the SKaMPI test suite (all on an ArchLinux platform)

I can run the test suite with a

/path/to/mpirun -np 2 ./skampi -i ski/skampi_pt2pt.ski

and it works, however, it's clearly (?) using the SHM channel

... [proxy:0:[email protected]] PMI response: cmd=get_result rc=0 msg=success value=(vector,(0,1,1)) [proxy:0:[email protected]] got pmi command (from 0): put kvsname=kvs_12233_0 key=sharedFilename[0] value=/dev/shm/mpich_shar_tmpUq7v2w [proxy:0:[email protected]] cached command: sharedFilename[0]=/dev/shm/mpich_shar_tmpUq7v2w ...

I'm normally an OpenMPI man and I'd like to try and force MPICH to use a TCP/IP "channel" along the lines of telling OpenMPI to use a TCP/IP "trasnport" with a

-mca btl tcp,self

so, what's the MPICH incantation to achieve the same thing ?
