Rolf, Whoowh! That's actually good news, since in our own tests hierarch is always slower. But this might be due to various reasons, including the fact, that we only have two cores per node. BTW: I actually would expect IMB test to have worse performance for hierarch compared to many other be

I am curious if anyone is doing any work currently on the hierarchical collectives. I ask this because I just did some runs on a cluster made up of 4 servers with 4 processors per server. I used TCP over IB. I was running with np=16 and using the IMB benchmark to test MPI_Bcast. What I am

My question before is still relevant: can Solaris untar tarballs that are in the POSIX format? If not, finding a tar that makes POSIX tarballs is moot. On Jan 24, 2008, at 4:44 PM, Paul H. Hargrove wrote: IMHO shortening the names now just delays dealing with the problem. I see 2 possibl

IMHO shortening the names now just delays dealing with the problem. I see 2 possible approaches to a long-term fix: 1) add some machinery on the build system to complain when a filename would exceed 99 chars (before the file gets into svn). 2) probe at configure time for a $TAR command that pro
