Hi Glen, what setup have you used for doing the benchmarks? I mean, what type of Ethernet switch, which network cards, which linux kernel. I am asking because it looks weird to me that the 4 CPU OpenMPI job is taking longer than the 2 CPU job, and that the 8 CPU job is faster again. Maybe the netw

I would like see more of such results. In particular it would be nice to see a comparison of OpenMPI to the newer MPICH2. Thanks, Glen. -david -- David Gunter CCN-8: HPC Environments - Parallel Tools On Feb 2, 2006, at 6:55 AM, Glen Kaukola wrote: Hi everyone, I recently took Open MPI (

Hi everyone, I recently took Open MPI (1.0.2a4) for a spin and thought you all might like to see how it's currently stacking up against MPICH (1.2.7p1). The benchmark I used was the EPA's CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) model. Now bear in mind my results aren't completely scientific
