Roman,
Can you please share with us Mvapich numbers that you get . Also what is mvapich version that you use. Default mvapich and openmpi IB tuning is very similar, so it is strange to see so big difference. Do you know what kind of collectives operation is used in this specific application.

Pasha.

I've been using --mca mpi_paffinity_alone 1 in all simulations. Concerning "-mca
 mpi_leave_pinned 1", I tried it with openmpi 1.2.X versions and it
makes no difference.

Best regards

sure if the problems were fixed on 1.3.2, but I am hanging on to that
setting just in case.
We had data corruption issue in 1.3.1 but it was resolved in 1.3.2. In 1.3.2
version leave_pinned is enabled by default.

If I remember correct mvapich enables affinity mode by default, so I can
recommend you to try to enable it too:
"--mca mpi_paffinity_alone 1". For more details please check FAQ -

Thanks,
Pasha.
