I tried to, though I may have failed. $ ./configure --prefix=/home/bradles/software/pvfs-mx-2.8.1 --without-openssl --with-mx=/opt/mx --without-bmi-tcp
The performance has mainly been bi-stable with moderate number of clients (8 nodes, 8 procs per node) small numbers of I/O nodes (1-10), I think as I increase the number of I/O nodes (and the number of clients), the number of clos-hops will become more uniform and performance will stabilize. I've got a hundred or so more benchmarking jobs in the queue, so I can report back soon hopefully.
