This PR adds a new runtime variable,
CHPL_RT_COMM_OFI_THP_HINT
, which controls if the OFI comm layer will use transparent huge pages to allocate memory. The default value is false, except when the provider being used is EFA. The default is true for EFA, since EFA is severely limited in the number of pages it can register.This PR also updates the docs for using Chapel on AWS to explain how to enable and use transparent huge pages.
This PR requires #24969 to be merged first
Tested on AWS
