Enrique --

I also recently added a section to the FAQ about TCP optimization. It's a bit sparse at the moment, but please feel free to pester us with questions -- whenever we see good questions, we add them to the FAQ!

http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=tuning
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=tcp

Be sure to look at the TCP BTL parameters that are available:

        ompi_info --param btl tcp

Many of them are still lacking descriptions, so, again, feel free to pester us with questions. :-)

Thank you.  It did the trick!  Now on to optimizing the communications
over gig-ethernet.

Hi,

I put together a small cluster (4 computers) which has one head node
that sees the world
and 3 that are on a private network.  If I want to use the head node
(which has 2 NICs)
as part of the ring, how do I tell it to go over the NIC that is part
of the private network?
In mpich, there is a modification to the hostfile, but I did not see
any such thing with OpenMPI


Here's an entry from an earlier post to this list (in the archives)
that I
believe applies:
