I ran a test using openmpi-1.0.2 on OSX vs mpich-1.2.6 from mryicom and i get lacking results from OMPI, at point point there is a small drop in bandwidth for both MPI libs, but open mpi does not recover like mpich, and further on you see a decreese in bandwidth for OMPI on gm. I have atta

This type of error *usually* indicates a programming error, but in this case, it's so non-specific that it's not entirely clear that this is the case. The Vasp code seems to be not entirely open, so I can't try this myself. Can you try running vasp through a debugger and putting a breakpoint in MP

Unlike mpich-gm, Open MPI does not keep the memory pinned by default. You can force this by ading the "--mca mpi_leave_pinned 1" to your mpirun command or by adding it into the Open MPI configuration file as specified on the FAQ (section performance). I think that should be the main reason

Ill provide new numbers soon with the --mac mpi_leave_pinned 1 I'm currious how does this affect real application performace? This ofcourse is a synthetic test using NetPipe. For regular apps that move decent amounts of data but want low latency more. Will that be affected? Brock Palen Ce

2006-06-13 Thread George Bosilca
Well, if there is no reuse in the application buffers, then the 2 approaches will give the same results. Because of our pipelined protocol it might happens that we will reach even better performance for large messages. If there is buffer reuse, the mpich-gm approach will lead to better perf
