Yes, we find its best to let users benchmark their code (if they have it already) Or a code that uses similar algorithms. And then have the user run on some machines we set aside. While we are on the benchmark topic, Users might be interested, we just installed a new set of Opteron 2220

Glad to contribute Victor! I am running on a home workstation that uses an AMD 3800 cpu attached to 2 gigs of ram. My timings for FT were 175 secs with one core and 110 on two cores with -O3 and -mtune=amd64 as tuning options. Brock, Terry and Jeff are all exactly correct in their comments r

Thank you everybody for the advices. I ran the NAS benchmark class B and it runs in 181 seconds on one core and in 90 seconds on two cores, so it scales almost perfectly. What were your timings, Jeff, and what processor do you exactly have? Mine is a Pentium D at 2.8GHz.

Victor, Build the FT benchmark and build it as a class B problem. This will run in the 1-2 minute range instead of 2-4 seconds the CG class A benchmark does. Jeff F. Pummill Senior Linux Cluster Administrator University of Arkansas Terry Frankcombe wrote: Hi Victor I'd suggest 3 seconds

Hi Victor I'd suggest 3 seconds of CPU time is far, far to small a problem to do scaling tests with. Even with only 2 CPUs, I wouldn't go below 100 times that. On Mon, 2007-06-11 at 01:10 -0700, victor marian wrote: > Hi Jeff > > I ran the NAS Parallel Bechmark and it gives for me > -bash%/ex

Not a dumb question at all. :-) I think the problem is your ­L flag. Our mpif90 wrapper compiler should already know where to find the MPI library, which is located in wherever you installed openmpi. Your flag is trying to overload our settings and I believe is causing confusion. So just eliminat

2007-06-10 Thread Jeff Squyres
Just remove the -L and -l arguments -- OMPI's "mpif90" (and other wrapper compilers) will do all that magic for you. Many -L/-l arguments in MPI application Makefiles are throwbacks to older versions of MPICH wrapper compilers that didn't always work properly. Those days are long gone; mos
