You should run a shared memory test, to see what's the max memory bandwidth you can get.

Hi,
How many PCI-Express Gigabit ethernet cards does OpenMPI version 1.2.4 support with a corresponding linear increase in bandwith measured with
netpipe NPmpi and openmpi mpirun?
With two PCI express cards I get a B/W of 1.75Gbps for 892Mbps each ans
for three pci express cards ( one built into the motherboard) i get
1.95Gbps. They all are around 890Mbs indiviually measured with netpipe
and NPtcp and NPmpi and openmpi. For two it seems there is a linear
increase in b/w but not for three pci express gigabit eth cards.
I have tune the cards using netpipe and $HOME/.openmpi/mca- params.conf
file for latency and percentage b/w .
Please advise.
What is in your $HOME/.openmpi/mca-params.conf? May be are hitting your
chipset limit here. What is your HW configuration? Can you try to run
NPtcp on each interface simultaneously and see what BW do you get.
