Correct. 20 nodes, 8 cores per dual-socket on each node = 360. From: users-boun...@open-mpi.org [mailto:users-boun...@open-mpi.org] On Behalf Of Ralph Castain Sent: Sunday, June 09, 2013 6:18 PM To: Open MPI Users Subject: Re: [OMPI users] EXTERNAL: Re: Need advice on performance problem
So, just to be sure - when you run 320 "cores", you are running across 20 nodes? Just want to ensure we are using "core" the same way - some people confuse cores with hyperthreads.

I am trying a larger model to see if the performance drop-off happens at a different number of cores. Also I'm running some intermediate core-count sizes to refine the curve a bit. I also added mpi_show_mca_params all, and at the same time, btl_openib_use_eager_rdma 1, just to see if that does anything.

How many cores are on a node?

This is an Infiniband FDR network with Sandy Bridge nodes. I am using affinity (--bind-to-core) but no other options. As the number of cores goes up, the message sizes are typically going down. There seem to be lots of options in the FAQ, and I would welcome any advice on where to start. All these timings are on a completely empty system except for me. Thanks MPI # cores Ave. Rate Std.
