Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are affected by this update?

The update applies to the listed SUSE IMB packages built for GNU OpenMPI 3, OpenMPI 4, MPICH, and MVAPICH2, including the listed OpenMPI 4 and debug/debuginfo packages.

2

What configuration change could affect benchmark behavior after updating?

The default value of mem_alloc_type changes to device. Environments relying on the previous default should review their IMB configuration and benchmark expectations before or after deployment.

3

Are all previously supported OpenMPI versions still supported?

No. Support for OpenMPI 1, 2, and 3 is dropped, while the update prepares support for OpenMPI 5.

4

Does this update add GPU benchmark support?

No. The IMB-MPI1-GPU benchmark, including dynamic loading of CUDA or Level Zero libraries from LD_LIBRARY_PATH, is stated as not currently provided in SUSE.
