[mpich-discuss] Preloading the libraries "LD_PRELOAD" Effect

[Kihang Youn]

Hi, everyone.

I'd like to know about the MPICH mpirun environment option "LD_PRELOAD".
Is the function of this option used to put the library on Cache (or RAM?) at startup and to gain benefits from multiple calls?


3. For Fortran programs, you must also modify LD_PRELOAD
   export LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/intel/lib/libmpi.so:/path/to/intel/lib/libmpigf.so:$LD_PRELOAD


Our team is looking for a way to load the library used by programs running through the "vmtouch" into the cache when performing the model, and we would like to know if it can be implemented through the "LD_PRELOAD" option.

The second question may be a lazy one.
Is there any options on tuning factor that can adjust parallel performance with MPICH?
I'm actually only familiar with using MPI because I'm a newbie and I don't know much about performance enhancement, but I'm going to organize the list of recommendable performance-related options with MPICH and test them, so I'd like to know if there's anything organized(PDF or URL or something).

Thank you.
