Hi Terry,
       
        I had tested mostly MPI_Bcast, MPI_Reduce, MPI_Gather kind of MPI with openmpi-1.3 and hierarchical option enabled.In all these, i found results slower than regular tuned collectives.

        We have HP Blade with intel clovertown processor(two quad core) connected with DDR infiniband clos network.
        Results were tested on 12-16 nodes with 8 mpi process each node.

Re: [OMPI users] Performance question about OpenMPI and MVAPICH2        on        IB





Hi Neeraj,

Were there specific collectives that were slower?  Also what kind of cluster were you running on?  How many nodes and cores per node?

thanks,
