I don't really care what others say, but to prove that this has any
performance value you should do the following:


Compare your most "parallel" algorithm with the performance of a
corresponding well-written MPI application using openmpi's shared memory
transport. If there is a difference, then your system has some value.

Of course openmpi's shared memory transport is terribly buggy, but it should
give a baseline acceptable performance.

If there is no comparison, we have no idea.

Best,
