Hi Sebastien,

The Infinipath / PSM software that was developed by PathScale/QLogic is now 
part of Intel.

I'll advise you off-list about how to contact our customer support so we can 
gather information about your software installation and work to resolve your 
issue.

The 20 microseconds latency you are getting with Open MPI / PSM is still way 
too high, so there may be some network issue which needs to be solved first.
