This FAQ is for Open MPI v4.x and earlier.
If you are looking for documentation for Open MPI v5.x and later, please visit docs.open-mpi.org.

Table of contents:

  1. What InfiniBand-based components does Open MPI have?
  2. How do I specify to use the InfiniBand network for MPI messages?
  3. But wait — I also have a TCP network. Do I need to explicitly disable the TCP BTL?
  4. How do I know what MCA parameters are available for tuning MPI performance?
  5. I'm getting errors about "error registering openib memory"; what do I do?
  6. I'm still getting errors about "error registering openib memory"; what do I do?
  7. I'm getting "ibv_create_qp: returned 0 byte(s) for max inline data" errors; what is this, and how do I fix it?
  8. My bandwidth seems [far] smaller than it should be; why? Can this be fixed?
  9. How do I tune small messages in Open MPI v1.1 and later versions?
  10. I get bizarre linker warnings / errors / run-time faults when I try to compile my OpenIB / OFED MPI application staticaly. How do I fix this?
