Finally, after mentioning the hostfiles the cluster is working fine. We downloaded few benchmarking softwares but i would like to know if there is any GUI based benchmarking software so that its easier to demonstrate the working of our cluster while displaying our cluster.
I'm confused what you're looking for here, but thought I'd venture a suggestion.
There are GUI-based performance analysis and tracing tools. E.g., run a program, [[semi-]automatically] collect performance data, run a GUI-based analysis tool on the data, visualize what happened on your cluster. Would this suit your purposes?
If so, there are a variety of tools out there you could try. Some are platform-specific or cost money. Some are widely/freely available. Examples of these tools include Intel Trace Analyzer, Jumpshot, Vampir, TAU, etc. I do know that Sun Studio (Performance Analyzer) is available via free download on x86 and SPARC and Linux and Solaris and works with OMPI. Possibly the same with Jumpshot. VampirTrace instrumentation is already in OMPI, but then you need to figure out the analysis-tool part. (I think the Vampir GUI tool requires a license, but I'm not sure. Maybe you can convert to TAU, which is probably available for free download.)
Anyhow, I don't even know if that sort of thing fits your requirements. Just an idea.
