Measuring communications is a very tricky process; there's a lot of factors involved. Check out this FAQ item: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=tuning#running-perf-numbers You might want to use a well-known benchmark program (e.g., NetPIPE, link checker, etc.) to run pair-wise comm

Hi, I'm new to this list and wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying to measure communication time between parallel processes using openmpi. As an example I might be running on 4 dual core processors (8 processes in total). I was hoping that communication using shared memory (comms between dual
