Wow - with that heavy an oversubscription, your performance experience certainly is reasonable. Not much you can do about it except reduce the oversubscription, either by increasing the number of computers or reducing the number of processes. On Mar 1, 2012, at 1:33 AM, Pinero, Pedro_jose wrot

Thank you for your fast response. I am launching 200 light processes in two computers with 8 cores each one (Intel i7 processor). They are dedicated and are interconnected through a point-to-point Gigabit Ethernet link. I read about oversubscribing nodes in the open-mpi documentation, and f

two things: 1. Too many mpi processes on one node leading to processes pre-empting each other 2. Contention in your network. On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 8:01 AM, Pinero, Pedro_jose < pedro_jose.pin...@atmel.com> wrote: > Hi, > > ** ** > > I am using OMPI v.1.5.5 to communicate 200 Processes in a

Hi, I am using OMPI v.1.5.5 to communicate 200 Processes in a 2-Computers cluster connected though Ethernet, obtaining a very poor performance. I have measured each operation time and I haver realised that the MPI_Gather operation takes about 1 second in each synchronization (only an integer is
