Re: [OMPI users] Calculate time spent on non blocking communication?

[Eugene Loh]

Okay, so forget about Peruse. You can basically figure that your user process will either be inside an MPI call or else not.  If it's inside an MPI call, then that's time spent in communications (and notably in the synchronization that's implicit to communication).  If it's not inside an MPI call, then that's time spent in computation.  Basically, no time in this model is attributed to both communication and computation at once. There is an OMPI FAQ on performance tools.  http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=perftools  Perhaps something there will be helpful for you.  Specifically, the "Sun Studio Performance Analyzer" allows you to divide that "communication" time between "data transfer time" and "synchronization time".  But a basic classification as either communication or else computation is pretty central to all the tools.

From: Eugene Loh <eugene....@oracle.com> Anyhow, the Peruse instrumentation in OMPI might help.
