Tuning Environment Variables
I_MPI_TUNING_MODE
I_MPI_TUNING_MODE
Select the tuning method.
Syntax
I_MPI_TUNING_MODE=<
arg
>Arguments
< arg > | Description |
none | Disable tuning modes. This is the default value.
|
auto | Enable autotuner.
|
auto:application | Enable autotuner with application focused strategy (alias for auto).
|
auto:cluster | Enable autotuner without application specific logic. This is typically performed with the help of benchmarks (for example, IMB-MPI1) and proxy applications.
|
Description
Set this environment variable to enable the autotuner functionality and set the autotuner strategy.
I_MPI_TUNING_BIN
I_MPI_TUNING_BIN
Specify the path to tuning settings in a binary format.
Syntax
I_MPI_TUNING_BIN=<
path
>Argument
< path >
| A path to a binary file with tuning settings. By default, Intel® MPI Library uses the binary tuning file located at < $I_MPI_ONEAPI_ROOT/etc> .
|
Description
Set this environment variable to load tuning settings in a binary format.
I_MPI_TUNING_BIN_DUMP
I_MPI_TUNING_BIN_DUMP
Specify the file for storing tuning settings in a binary format.
Syntax
I_MPI_TUNING_BIN_DUMP=<
filename
>Argument
< filename >
| A file name of a binary that stores tuning settings. By default, the path is not specified.
|
Description
Set this environment variable to store tuning settings in binary format.
I_MPI_TUNING
I_MPI_TUNING
Load tuning settings in a JSON format.
Syntax
I_MPI_TUNING=<
path
>Argument
< path >
| A path to a JSON file with tuning settings.
|
Description
Set this environment variable to load tuning settings in a JSON format.
The tuning settings in the JSON format are produced by the
utility.
By default, the Intel® MPI Library loads tuning settings in a binary format. If it is not possible, the Intel MPI Library loads the tuning file in a JSON format specified through the
I_MPI_TUNING
environment variable. Thus, to enable JSON tuning, turn off the default binary tuning:
I_MPI_TUNING_BIN=""
. If it is not possible to load tuning settings from a JSON file and in a binary format, the default tuning values are used.
You do not need to turn off binary or JSON tuning settings if you use
I_MPI_ADJUST
family environment variables. The algorithms specified with
I_MPI_ADJUST
environment variables always have priority over binary and JSON tuning settings.
