SYNOPSIS

ompi_info [options]

DESCRIPTION

ompi_info provides detailed information about the Open MPI installation. It can be useful for at least three common scenarios:

1. Checking local configuration and seeing how Open MPI was installed.

2. Submitting bug reports / help requests to the Open MPI community (see http://www.open-mpi.org/community/help/)

3. Seeing a list of installed Open MPI plugins and querying what MCA parameters they support.

OPTIONS

ompi_info accepts the following options:

-a|--all

Show all configuration options and MCA parameters

--arch

Show architecture Open MPI was compiled on

-c|--config

Show configuration options

-gmca|--gmca <param> <value>

Pass global MCA parameters that are applicable to all contexts.

-h|--help

Shows help / usage message

--hostname

Show the hostname that Open MPI was configured and built on

--internal

Show internal MCA parameters (not meant to be modified by users)

-mca|--mca <param> <value>

Pass context-specific MCA parameters; they are considered global if --gmca is not used and only one context is specified.

--param <type> <component>

Show MCA parameters. The first parameter is the type of the component to display; the second parameter is the specific component to display (or the keyword "all", meaning "display all components of this type").

--parsable

When used in conjunction with other parameters, the output is displayed in a machine-parsable format --parseable Synonym for --parsable

--path <type>

Show paths that Open MPI was configured with. Accepts the following parameters: prefix, bindir, libdir, incdir, pkglibdir, sysconfdir.

--pretty

When used in conjunction with other parameters, the output is displayed in 'prettyprint' format (default)

-v|--version <component> <scope>

Show version of Open MPI or a component. <component> can be the keywords "ompi" or "all", the name of a framework (e.g., "coll" shows all components in the coll framework), or the name of a specific component (e.g., "pls:rsh" shows the information from the rsh PLS component). <scope> can be one of: full, major, minor, release, greek, svn.
