Yes, my point was any testing I do isn't in the form of our usual test suites. I would like get MTT rolling at some point at LLNL; though I have (too many :() higher priorities. Also I'm not sure of the 'their cost' vs. 'our value' ratio of doing runs at much more than 1024 procs (or even tha

I think Terry was asking about running at larger scale on a regular basis for correctness testing (i.e., nightly snapshot tarballs via MTT). I, for one, would love to see the labs run some of our nightly tarballs at larger scale so that we have a more consistent datapoint of what "works" an

I won't speak for the labs as a whole, but I generally don't run things at scale unless theres something specific I'm after, ie benchmarks or apps I'm using as a benchmark, rather than test suites. You might look at some of the purple benchmarks: http://www.llnl.gov/asci/platforms/purple/rfp/b

What about Sandia and LANL? Is there anything that is ran on their large clusters to confirm things seem to work at high np's? --td Jeff Squyres wrote: Cisco is not yet testing that large, but we plan to shortly start testing at np>=128 (I'm waiting for an internal cluster within Cisco to

Hi; I am not sure this is relavent to your question. I do have an computational fluid dynamics application which solves fluid flow problems. Recently I was able to run this code up to 2048 processors on the Indiana University's IBM e1350 BigRed cluster. I did use 1.2.3 version of the OpenMPI. I a

[OMPI devel] Which tests for larger cluster testing

2007-09-11 Thread Rolf . Vandevaart
I am curious which tests are being used when running tests on larger clusters. And by larger clusters, I mean anything with np > 128. (Although I realize that is not very large, but it is bigger than most of the clusters I assume tests are being run on) I ask this because I planned on using some
