Hi all,
Now LAM-MPI is also installed and tested the fortran application by
running with LAM-MPI.
But LAM-MPI is performing still worse than Open MPI
No of nodes:3 cores per node:8 total core: 3*8=24
CPU TIME : 1 HOURS 51 MINUTES 23.49 SECONDS
ELAPSED TIME : 7 HOURS 28 MINUTES 2.23 SECONDS
No of nodes:6 cores used per node:4 total core: 6*4=24
CPU TIME : 0 HOURS 51 MINUTES 50.41 SECONDS
ELAPSED TIME : 6 HOURS 6 MINUTES 38.67 SECONDS
Any help/suggetsions to diagnose this problem.
Thanks,
Sangamesh
