Hi Robert, I got inspired by your question to run a few more tests. They are crude, and I don't have actual cpu timing information because of a library mismatch. However: Setup: Xserve, 2x2.26 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon 6.0 Gb memory 1067 MHz DDR3 Mac OS X 10.5.6 Nodes are connected with a

Rodrigo, There is no support for Dolphin SCI cards in Open MPI. I'm not aware of anybody writing the support for SCI in Open MPI either. So I guess right now you're stuck with the Dolphin MPI ... george. On Jul 13, 2009, at 10:13 , Rodrigo Delgado Urzúa wrote: Dear all, I've some old

Hi Robert, Hakon Bugge presented a paper on this at ISC09. He found that SMT helped several SPEC MPI benchmarks. (He used Platform MPI, not Open MPI.) He did not oversubscribe, though. He just enabled SMT, which allowed the OS to allocate spare CPU cycles during IO wait, etc. My conclusions

Here's my advice: Don't trust anyones advice. Benchmark it yourself and see. The problems vary so wildly that only you can tell if your problem will benefit from oversubscription. It really depends on too many factors to accurately predict: schedulers, memory usage, network/interconnect hard
