[mpich-devel] P states and MPI

[William Gropp]

There has been some work on this for parallel programs; Wu Feng at Virginia Tech has done some, for example.  I don't recall seeing any work that used the profiling interface.  Some of the issues raised, especially the required privs, mean that this is only available for experiments, not production, until that changes.  Also, its sometimes possible to make predictions about wait times based on previous iterations; that could be used to refine such control.
