Hi, Please ensure if following things are correct1) The array bounds are equal. Means \"my_x\" and \"size_y\" has the same value on all nodes.2) Nodes are homogenous. To check that, you could decide root to be some different node and run the program-NeerajOn Fri, 26 Oct 2007 10:13:15 +0500 (PKT) Open MPI Users wrote Thanks for your reply, I used MPI_Wtime for my application but even then process 0 took longer time executing the mentioned code segment. I might be worng, but what I see is process 0 takes more time to access the array elements than other processes. Now I dont see what to do because the mentioned code segment is creating a bottleneck for the timing of my application. Can any one suggest somthing in this regard. I will be very thankful regards Aftab Hussain On Thu, October 25, 2007 9:38 pm, jody wrote: > HI > I\'m not sure if that is a problem, > but in MPI applications you shoud use MPI_WTime() for time-measurements > > Jody > > > On 10/25/07, 42af...@niit.edu.pk wrote: > >> Hi all, >> I am a research assistant (RA) at NUST Pakistan in High Performance >> Scientific Computing Lab.
