Dear Jeff, Can you suggest me a quick guide that can help me testing specifically the across and within node communication. I have some submission today so have no time for googling. If the benchmark tells me the right thing then I will do something accordingly.

You might want to run a well-known benchmark, like NetPIPE or the OSU pt2pt benchmarks. Note that the *first* send between any given peer pair is likely to be slow because OMPI does a lazy connection scheme (i.e., the connection is made behind the scenes). Subsequent sends are likely faster. Well-known benchmarks do a bunch of warmup sends and then start timing after those are all done. Also ensure that you have shared memory support enabled. It is likely to be enabled by default, but if you're seeing different performance than you expect, that's something to check.
