Re: [OMPI users] MPI_Bcast from OpenMPI

Okay.  So, going back to Jeff's second surprise, we have 256 Mbyte/2.5 sec = 100 Mbyte/sec = 1 Gbit/sec (sloppy math).  So, without getting into details of what we're measuring/reporting here, there doesn't on the face of it appear to be anything wrong with the baseline performance.  Jeff was right that 256K doubles should have been faster, but 256 Mbyte... seems reasonable.

So, the remaining mystery is the 6x or so spike at 128 Mbyte.  Dunno.  How important is it to resolve that mystery?

It means around 128 MB.

Very strange; 6 seconds for a 1MB broadcast over 64 processes is *way* too long.  Even 2.5 sec at 2MB seems too long
