Thanks for sharing your findings.

just to be clear, your application is running at full speed.

only MPI_Wtime() is busted, so timers used internally in your app might

mislead you and suggests performance are worst than what they really are

    I'm not sure why nobody has encountered this issue on the mailing 
list. After some fiddling I was finally able to isolated to a 
performance regression introduced between 2.0.1 and 2.0.2. While trying 
to binary search the exact commit causing the performance regression my 
colleague brought this to my attention,

    https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/3003

    Yes this is exactly the issue!

    So just in case anybody run into the same issue again ...

        OK, did some testing with MVAPICH and everything is normal so 
this is clearly with OMPI. Is there anything that I should try?

            Hi,

            I'm wondering if anybody who has done perf testing on 
Mellanox EDR with OMPI can shed some light here?

            We have a pair of EDR HCAs connected back to back. We are 
testing with two dual-socked Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 (Haswell) nodes @2.
30GHz, 64GB memory. OS is Scientific Linux 6.7 with kernel
            2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.x86_64, vanilla OFED 3.18-2. HCAs are 
running the latest FW. OMPI 2.0.2.

            OSU bandwidth test only delivers ~5.5 GB/s at 4MB message 
size, latency is ~2.7 us at 0B message size. Both are far behind the 
claimed values. RDMA perf on the same set up was not too shabby - 
bandwidth ~10.6 GB/s, latency ~ 1.0 us.

            So I'm wondering if I'm missing anything in the OMPI setup 
that causes such a huge delta? OMPI command was simplely: mpirun -np 2 -
H host1,host2 -mca btl openib,sm,self osu_bw

            Thanks,

            Yong Qin
