Re: [OMPI users] 3.5 seconds before application launches

2009-02-25 Thread Jeff Squyres
Dorian raises a good point. You might want to try some simple tests of launching non-MPI codes (e.g., hostname, uptime, etc.) and see how they fare. Those will more accurately depict OMPI's launching speeds. Getting through MPI_INIT is another matter (although on 2 nodes, the startup shou
