bfstate − Report status of LAM buffers.
bfstate [-ghlp] [-B <#msgs>] <node(s)>
−g |
Include information on system messages. |
|||
−h |
Print the command help menu. |
|||
−l |
Print buffer levels and limits. |
|||
−p |
Display individual packet information. |
|||
−B <#msgs> |
Limit the number of messages reported. |
Most MPI users will probably not need to use the bfstate command; see mpimsg(1).
The bfstate command displays information on LAM network message buffers on any node in the multicomputer. For each message, bfstate outputs the following information:
NODE |
node containing the message |
|||
DEST |
destination node of the message |
|||
EVENT |
message event (see nsend(2)) |
|||
TYPE |
message type |
|||
LENGTH |
message length in bytes |
The −l option prints the following summary on each node’s buffer system, after all messages for that node have been displayed.
- |
maximum size of the internal buffer pool |
|||
- |
amount of space currently used in the pool. |
Individual message buffers hold network message packets, which may be only part of a complete user message. Normally, bfstate summarizes packets into complete messages. If all packets for a message are not on the same node, no information is displayed. The −p option disables this behaviour and one line on information is displayed for each packet. The −B option changes the maximum number of packet buffers acquired (and hence displayable) from the node.
bfstate n12-14
Display the status of all network message buffers on nodes 12 through 14.
If no buffered messages are found, only the title line is displayed and information from the −l option, if present.
