Unfortunately, I can hardly imagine where the performance problems are coming from. Usually I get more than 97% out of the raw TCP performance with Open MPI. There are two parameters hat can slightly improve the behavior: btl_tcp_rdma_pipeline_send_length and btl_tcp_min_rdma_pipeline_size.

Hello again ;), after getting acceptable latency on our Chelsio S320E-CXA adapters we now want to check if we can also tune the bandwidth. On TCP level (measured via iperf) we get 1.15 GB/s, on MPI level (measured via MPI-Ping-Pong) just 930 MB/s. We already set btl_tcp_sndbuf and btl_tcp_rcvb
