Something looks fishy about your numbers. The first two sets of numbers look the same and the last set do look better for the most part. Your mpirun command line looks weird to me with the "-mca orte_base_help_aggregate btl,openib,self," did something get chopped off with the text copy? You should have had a "-mca btl openib,self". Can you do a run with "-mca btl tcp,self", it should be slower.

I really wouldn't have expected another compiler over IB to be that dramatically lower performing.

also, I'm not sure if I'm reading the results right. According to the last run, did using the sun compilers (update 1 ) result in higher performance with sunct?

    tell me if it is but thanks to all those who helped me.

    this  goes to say that the sun MPI works with programs not
    compiled with sun’s compilers.
    this first test was run as a base case to see if MPI works., the
    sedcond run is to see the speed up using OpenIB provides
