Re: [OMPI users] Odd behavior with slots=4

2007-03-28 Thread George Bosilca
There are multiple answers possible here. One is related to the over- subscription of your cluster, but I expect that there are at least 4 cores per node if you want to use the slots=4 option. The real question is what is the communication pattern in this benchmark ? and how this match the d

Stephen, There are a huge number of MPI profiling tools out there. My preference will be something small, fast and where the output is in human readable text format (and not fancy graphics). The tools I'm talking about is called mpiP (http://mpip.sourceforge.net/). It's not Open MPI speci

Hi, What is the best way of getting statistics on the size of MPI messages being sent/received by my OpenMPI-using application? I'm guessing MPE is one route but is there anything built into OpenMPI that will give me this specific statistic? Thanks, -stephen -- Stephen Mulcahy, Applepie So

Curious performance when using OpenMPI 1.2 to run Amber 9 on my Xserve Xeon 5100 cluster. Each cluster node is a dual socket, dual- core system. The cluster is also running with Myrinet 2000 with MX. I'm just running some tests with one of Amber's benchmarks. It seems that my hostfiles effec

Hi All, We have installed OpenMPI in our cluster, I can see from "ompi_info" gridengine support(FAQ:22) is there, now we are creating PE as mentioned in FAQ % qconf -sp orte start_proc_args /bin/true stop_proc_args/bin/true ... just want to know anybody successfully running in
