I still think that the pml fast path fixes would be good. -jms Sent from my PDA. No type good.

Here are some performance comparisons with Scali. The performance tests are modified versions of the HPCC pingpong tests. The OMPI version is the trunk with my "single-queue" fixes... otherwise, OMPI latency at higher np would be noticeably worse. latency(ns) bandwidth(MB/s) (8-byte msgs) (2M-byte msgs) ============= ============= np Scali OMPI Scali OMPI 2 327 661 1458 1295 4 369 670 1517 1287 8 414 758 1535 1294 OMPI latency is nearly 2x slower than Scali's. Presumably, "fastpath" PML latency optimizations would help us a lot here. Thankfully, our latency is flat with np with the recent "single-queue" fixes... otherwise our high-np latency story would be so much worse. We're behind on bandwidth as well, though not as pitifully so. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/devel
