Re: [OMPI users] dual Gigabit ethernet support

2006-08-29 Thread Richard L. Graham
Remember that the kernel uses a fair amount of cpu time in the case of TCP, and the network portion of the transfer (where you would gain in parallelism) is relatively small. One sees most of the advantages of network parallelism, with respect to performance, when the on-host network protoco

[OMPI users] Short Long messages when synchronous

2006-08-29 Thread Marcelo Stival
Hi, I have 2 questions related to short/long message protocols... 1) When using synchronous comm mode, short messages (<64kB) still be transferred eagerly? And larger messages will be transferred using rendezvous...? 2) When the progress-thread (tcp btl) will be applied? Just for long messages

This list is a fine place to report bugs. The problem that you are running into is that you upgraded Open MPI without first removing the prior version (it looks like the prior version of OMPI was in the 1.0.x series -- 1.0.2 by your mail). Since Open MPI is based on plugins, you need to ensure to

Thanks for your replay... Let me be a little insistent... :P I read (I don't remember where...) that an specific implementation could send messages with synchronous comm mode... eagerly! I think it still conform to the standard if the operation completes just after the ack from the receiver. Th

Well, you post the question on the user mailing list. Therefore, I give you a user answer. If you want to know how do we implemented deep inside, then the answer is different. Short messages even on synchronous mode are sent using the rendez- vous protocol (sic). Except that our rendez-vous

OK, I really thank u ... ! How to verify the value for "first_fragment" param? I tried "ompi_info --param btl tcp", but I can't found this one. (openmpi 1.1.1b) One more "deep inside" question (next time, to the right list..:P) I suppose that the progress thread will be used just for rendezvous.

Re: [OMPI users] LSF with OpenMPI

2006-08-29 Thread Jeff Squyres
That's somewhat odd. I have very little experience with LSF, but I'm surprised that they don't copy the environment over (others do). None of us have LSF, unfortunately, so we haven't done any work to try to make OMPI work on it. On 8/25/06 10:14 AM, "Michael Kluskens" wrote: > Is there anyon
