Re: [OMPI users] open-mpi behaviour on Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS

2010-04-24 Thread Fabian Hänsel
Hi Asad, I found that running the same source code on these OS, with the same versions of of gcc and open-mpi installed on them, gives different results than Fedora and Ubuntu after a few hundred iterations. The first few hundered iterations are exactly similar to that of Fedora and Ubuntu
