Hi, Hardware setups: + We have 4 NICs for each node in our cluster. That is why I called 4 links. + All nodes are connected by 4 switches (1Gb switch). + 4GB memory for each node. How can I check that NUMA or UMA memory access?
Thank you! ________________________________ From: Jeff Squyres <jsquy...@cisco.com> To: Open MPI Users <us...@open-mpi.org> Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 8:23:52 PM Subject: Re: [OMPI users] MPI_Bcast from OpenMPI Very strange; 6 seconds for a 1MB broadcast over 64 processes is *way* too long. Even 2.5 sec at 2MB seems too long -- what is your network speed? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "4 link" on your graph. Without more information, I would first check your hardware setup to see if there's some kind of network buffering / congestion issue occurring. Here's a total guess: your ethernet switch(es) are low quality (from an HPC perspective, at least) such that you're incurring congestion and/or retransmission at that size for some reason. You could also be running up against memory bus congestion (I assume you mean 4 cores per node; are they NUMA or UMA?). But that wouldn't account for the huge spike at 1MB.
