We've done linpack runs recently w/ Infiniband, which result in performance
comparable to mvapich, but not w/ the tcp port. Can you try running w/ an
earlier version, specify on the command line:
-mca pml teg
I'm interested in seeing if there is any performance difference.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
I tried the same cluster (16 node x86) with the switches -mca pml teg and I get good performance of 24.52Gflops at N=22500
and Block size NB=120.
My command line now looks like :
a1> mpirun -mca pls_rsh_orted /home/allan/openmpi/bin/orted -mca pml teg -hostile aa -np 16 ./xhpl
hostfile = aa, containing the addresses of the 16 machines.
I am using a GS116 16 port netgear Gigabit ethernet switch with Gnet realtek gig ethernet cards
Why, PLEASE, do these switches pml teg make such a difference? It's 2.6 times more performance in GFlops than what I was getting without them.
I tried version rc3 and not an earlier version.
Thank you very much for your assistance!
Best wishes
Allan
