Here are the results with -mca mpi_leave_pinned
The results are as expected, they are exactly similar to the mpich
results. Thank you for the help. I have attached a plot with all
three and the raw data for anyones viewing pleasure.
We never doubt about that :)
Im still curious about does mpi_leave_pinned affect real jobs if
its not included? for the most part for large messages of the size
used in this test will never be seen. So the effect should be
negligible? Clarification?
Note I am a admin not a MPI programmer have very lax experience
with real code.
If you want/can run some real applications with and without this flag
and compare them it will be more than useful. We never went deeper
than some benchmarks on this topic. Additional information is
welcome ...
Thanks,
george.

Ill provide new numbers soon with the --mac mpi_leave_pinned 1
I'm currious how does this affect real application performace? This
ofcourse is a synthetic test using NetPipe. For regular apps that
move decent amounts of data but want low latency more.
Will that be affected?

Unlike mpich-gm, Open MPI does not keep the memory pinned by
default.
You can force this by ading the "--mca mpi_leave_pinned 1" to your
mpirun command or by adding it into the Open MPI configuration file
as specified on the FAQ (section performance). I think that
should be
the main reason what you're seeing a such degradation of
performances.
If this does not solve your problem, can you please provide the new
performance as well as the output of the command "ompi_info --param
all all".
Thanks,
george.

I ran a test using openmpi-1.0.2 on OSX vs mpich-1.2.6 from
mryicom and i get lacking results from OMPI,
at point point there is a small drop in bandwidth for both MPI
libs, but open mpi does not recover like mpich, and further on you
see a decreese in bandwidth for OMPI on gm.
I have attached in png and the outputs from the test (there are
two for OMPI )
