Thank you very much guys. Now a more serious issue: I am using mpi with laamps (a molecular dynamics package) on a single Rack Dell server Poweredge R810 (4 eight-core processors, 128 Gb RAM memory). I am now potentially interested into buying the Intel MPI 4.1 libraries, and I am trying them by exploiting the 30 days trial. However, I am not experiencing any significant improved performance by using the Intel MPI libraries with respect to the Open Mpi (compiled with the Itel compilers).
Here there is the (makefile) working configuration for the Intel MPI 4.1 compilers: CC = /opt/intel/impi/4.1.0.024/intel64/bin/mpiicpc CCFLAGS = -O -DMPICH_IGNORE_CXX_SEEK -DMPICH_SKIP_MPICXX And here there is the Open Mpi one: CC = /usr/local/bin/mpicc CCFLAGS = -O -mpicc I also tried the flag -O3 but I detected no significant differences in performance. Now, I would be considering the Intel Mpi libraries, provided this would bring to a significant increase in performance with respect to Open Mpi. I have evidence that there is room to improve because laamps under the same conditions and on an HP Z650 with two 6-core processors (the clock frequency is the same though, and tests for comparison were done on parallel runs using 8 cores), improves of nearly the 70% by using the proprietary HP MPI libraries.
