It would also help to have some idea how you installed and ran this - e.g., did you set mpi_paffinity_alone so that the processes would bind to their processors? That could explain the cpu vs. elapsed time since it helps the processes from being swapped out as much. Ralph > Your Intel processors

Your Intel processors are I assume not the new Nehalem/I7 ones? The older quad-core ones are seriously memory bandwidth limited when running a memory intensive application. That might explain why using all 8 cores per node slows down your calculation. Why do you get such a difference between cp

Hi all, Now LAM-MPI is also installed and tested the fortran application by running with LAM-MPI. But LAM-MPI is performing still worse than Open MPI No of nodes:3 cores per node:8 total core: 3*8=24 CPU TIME :1 HOURS 51 MINUTES 23.49 SECONDS ELAPSED TIME :7 HOURS 28 MINUTES

Dear All, A fortran application is installed with Open MPI-1.3 + Intel compilers on a Rocks-4.3 cluster with Intel Xeon Dual socket Quad core processor @ 3GHz (8cores/node). The time consumed for different tests over a Gigabit connected nodes are as follows: (Each node has 8 GB memory).
