"btl" = bit transport layer
Yes, you can do so (assuming you configured/built support for both
transports into OMPI), but you probably don't want to specify things
that tightly. Usually, people do:
-mca btl tcp,sm,self
or
-mca btl openib,sm,self
This also selects the shared memory subsystem that provides
performance for processes that share nodes, and a "self" module that
supports simplified loopback calls when the code winds up sending
something back to the calling process.
