Re: [OMPI users] Openmpi performance issue

If I remember correctly, both Intel MPI and MVAPICH2 bind processes by default. OMPI does not. There are many cases where the "bind by default" behavior gives better default performance. (There are also cases where it can give catastrophically worse performance.) Anyhow, it seems possible t

On 2/1/2012 7:59 AM, Frank wrote: When running mpirun -n 2 the STDOUT streams of both processes are combined and are displayed by the shell. In such an interleaved format its hard to tell what line comes from which node. As far as this part goes, there is also "mpirun --tag-output". Check the

Re: [OMPI users] parallelising ADI

Parallelize in distributed-memory fashion or is multi-threaded good enough? Anyhow, you should be able to find many resources with an Internet search. This particular mailing list is more for users of OMPI, a particular MPI implementation. One approach would be to distribute only one axis, s

Re: [OMPI users] Regarding the execution time calculation

MPI_Wtime() returns the elapsed time since some arbitrary time in the past. It is a measure of "wallclock" time, not of CPU time or anything. On 5/4/2012 3:08 PM, Jingcha Joba wrote: Lets say I have a code like this start = MPI_Wtime() stop = MPI_Wtime(); What happens when right after start=M
