[OMPI users] dual Gigabit ethernet support

2006-08-22 Thread Jayanta Roy
Hi, In between two nodes I have dual Gigabit ethernet full duplex links. I was doing benchmarking using non-blocking MPI send and receive. But I am getting only speed corresponds to one Gigabit ethernet full duplex link (< 2Gbps). I have checked using ifconfig, this transfer is using both the

Jayanta, What is your bus on this machine? If it is PCI-X 133 you are going to be limited, also memory bandwidth could also be the bottleneck. Thanks, Galen Jayanta Roy wrote: Hi, In between two nodes I have dual Gigabit ethernet full duplex links. I was doing benchmarking using non-blo

I am also guessing you might be actually using only one of the gigabit links even though you have two available. I assume you have configured the equal-cost-multi-path (ECMP) IP routes between the two hosts correctly; even then, ECMP, as implemented in most IP stacks (not sure if there is an RFC f

Hi Galen, The GigE is on the ESB2. This lives on a 4GB/sec link to the MCH. I believe we aren't really running close to the I/O bandwidth limit. This MPI transfer uses both the ports as there are increment in RX and TX bytes of both eth0 and eth1. But I am getting the same bandwidth with or wit

HI, I am trying to dynamically load mpi.dylib on Mac OS X. It seems to load fine, but when I call MPI_Init(), I get the error shown below. I can call other functions jsut fine (like MPI_Initialized). Also, my mpi install is seeing all the needed components and I can load them myself without er
