Hello Ben, Thanks for the info. You would probably be better off installing UCX on your cluster and rebuilding your Open MPI with the --with-ucx configure option.
Here's what I'm seeing with Open MPI 3.0.1 on a ConnectX5 based cluster using ob1/openib BTL: mpirun -map-by ppr:1:node -np 2 ./osu_bibw # OSU MPI Bi-Directional Bandwidth Test v5.1 # Size Bandwidth (MB/s) 1 0.00 2 0.00 4 0.01 8 0.02 16 0.04 32 0.07 64 0.13 128 273.64 256 485.04 512 869.51 1024 1434.99 2048 2208.12 4096 3055.67 8192 3896.93 16384 89.29 32768 252.59 65536 614.42 131072 22878.74 262144 23846.93 524288 24256.23 1048576 24498.27 2097152 24615.64 4194304 24632.58 export OMPI_MCA_pml=ucx # OSU MPI Bi-Directional Bandwidth Test v5.1 # Size Bandwidth (MB/s) 1 4.57 2 8.95 4 17.67 8 35.99 16 71.99 32 141.56 64 208.86 128 410.32 256 495.56 512 1455.98 1024 2414.78 2048 3008.19 4096 5351.62 8192 5563.66 16384 5945.16 32768 6061.33 65536 21376.89 131072 23462.99 262144 24064.56 524288 24366.84 1048576 24550.75 2097152 24649.03 4194304 24693.77 You can get ucx off of GitHub https://github.com/openucx/ucx/releases There is also a pre-release version of UCX (1.3.0RCX?) packaged as an RPM available in MOFED 4.3. See http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26&mtag=linux_sw_drivers I was using UCX 1.2.2 for the results above.
