Hi Don, The first time I ran the program I am working on. It is perfectly scallable and on 20 processors it ran on 27 seconds (on two processors on 300 seconds). The I had the curiosity to run it on a pentium D. It ran in 30 senconds on a single core. On two cores it ran on 37 seconds (I think som

Victor, Obviously there are many variables involved with getting the best performance out of a machine and understanding the 2 environments you are comparing would be necessary as well as the job. I would not be able to get my hands on another E10K for validation or projecting possible gains

Hi Don, Seeing your mail, I suppose you are working at Sun. We have a Sun 1 Server at our university, and my program runs almost as fast on 16 UltraSparc2 processors as on a pentium D.The program is perfectly scallable. I am a little bit dissapointed. Our Sparc II are at 400MHz, and the Pent

Additionally, Solaris comes with the IB drivers and since the libs are there OMPI thinks that it is available. You can suppress this message with --mca btl_base_warn_component_unused 0 or specifically call out the btls you wish to use, example --mca btl self,sm,tcp Brock Palen wrote: It

I am working on an MD simulation algorithm on a shared-memory system with 4 dual-core AMD 875 opteron processors. I started with MPICH (1.2.6) and then shifted to OpenMPI and I found very good improvement with OpenMPI. Even I would be interested in knowing any other benchmarks with similar comparis

Hey Victor! I just ran the old classic cpi.c just to verify that OpenMPI was working. Now I need to grab some actual benchmarking code. I may try the NAS Parallel Benchmarks from here... http://www.nas.nasa.gov/Resources/Software/npb.html They were pretty easy to build and run under mpich.

I can't turn it off right now to look in BIOS (the computer is not at home), but I think the Pentium D which is dual-core doesn't support hyper-threading. The program I made relies on an MPI library (it is not a benchmarking program). I think you are right, maibe I should run a benchmarking p

Victor, Just on a hunch, look in your BIOS to see if Hyperthreading is turned on. If so, turn it off. We have seen some unusual behavior on some of our machines unless this is disabled. I am interested in your progress as I have just begun working with OpenMPI as well. I have used mpich for

The problem is that my executable file runs on the Pentium D in 80 seconds on two cores and in 25 seconds on one core. And on another Sun SMP machine with 20 processors it runs perfectly (the problem is perfectly scallable). Victor Marian Laboratory of Machine Elements and Tribolog

It means that your OMPI was compiled to support uDAPL (a type of infinibad network) but that your computer does not have such a card installed. Because you dont it will fall back to ethernet. But because you are just running on a single machine. You will use the fastest form of communi
