Hi,
when evaluating infiniband I usually try to run "osu_latency",
"osu_bw" and the likes (from package mpitests-openmpi). However, I
have not managed to run these between nodes where one has a Qlogic
card and the other one from Mellanox.
Is it a bad idea to try to use cards from different vendors in an "mpi
environment", or am I missing something in the configuration?
It's probably possible to make it work but I don't think it will perform
particularly well. Without seeing the actual error I would guess that
the QLogic card is trying to use psm / Infinipath whereas the Mellanox
one will be using Ibverbs. If you can force the QLogic one to use
IBverbs it might work (but you may still have problems). You could also
try setting up an IPoIB interface on each and using tcp over that.
