Hi Terry, I had tested mostly MPI_Bcast, MPI_Reduce, MPI_Gather kind of MPI with openmpi-1.3 and hierarchical option enabled.In all these, i found results slower than regular tuned collectives.
We have HP Blade with intel clovertown processor(two quad core) connected with DDR infiniband clos network. Results were tested on 12-16 nodes with 8 mpi process each node.

Also what kind of cluster were you running on? How many nodes and cores per node? thanks, --td > Message: 3 > Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 16:51:05 +0530 > From: nee...@crlindia.com > Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Performance question about OpenMPI and > MVAPICH2 on IB > To: Open MPI Users <us...@open-mpi.org> > Cc: us...@open-mpi.org, users-boun...@open-mpi.org > Message-ID: > <of62a95e62.d6758124-on6525760b.003e2874-6525760b.003e1...@crlindia.com> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Hi Terry, > > I feel hierarchical collectives are slower compare to tuned one.
