Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to reduce the cpu usage the openmpi seems to spend in the busy wait loop. Thanks, /David On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 4:34 PM, Bokassa wrote: > Hi, >I notice that a simple MPI program in which rank 0 sends 4 bytes to > each rank and receives a reply

Hi , First, I don't see any cpu utilization but %time (of a function wrt others in a process/application). Generally for high cpu utilization, there could be many reason. Two of them that comes to my mind is, 1. Depends on the network stack, eg. the "tcp" way will use more CPU than the "openi

This might also be in reference to the issue that shed_yield() really does nothing in recent Linux kernels (there was big debate about this at kernel.org). IIRC, there's some kernel parameter that you can tweak to make it behave better, but I'm afraid I don't remember what it is. Some googli
