[OMPI users] Multicast?

2008-12-09 Thread Brock Palen
Is OpenMPI using Multicast for things like MPI_Bcast() ? Some simple tests of really old versions (1.0.2) showed binary tree type performance, while latter versions gave me the same run time no matter how many CPU's I used. Thus this lead me to believe that something like multicast is in

I have tried disabling the shared memory by running with the following parameters to mpirun --mca btl openib,self --mca btl_openib_ib_timeout 23 --mca btl_openib_use_srq 1 --mca btl_openib_use_rd_max 2048 Unfortunately this did not get rid of any hangs and has seemed to make them more common

The current version of Open MPI installed on ranger is 1.3a1r19685 which is from early October. This version has a fix for ticket #1378. Ticket #1449 is not an issue is this case because each node has 16 processors and #1449 is for larger SMPs. However, I am wondering if this is because of
