Hi Keith, There is too little information to answer your question.
2) The latency changes by > 10x over 100 iterations. Is that normal?
What is the baseline you are comparing against? Do you mean memory latency? If yes, how do you measure it and from where do you fetch the data? What is your hardware?
MPICH configure: --prefix=/group/astronomy856/ban115/mpich/build-ingest-debug --enable-error-messages=all --enable-timing=all --enable-g=most
You are trying to understand if there is a performance anomaly, yet you build MPICH in debugging mode. I suggest building with *--enable-fast=O3,ndebug* and remove the other flags you supplied. Halim www.mcs.anl.gov/~aamer On 12/1/16 5:10 PM, [email protected] wrote:
Hi,
I think I have a problem with my supercomputer :-(
I’m new to MPI and HPC.
Below are the results of osu_gather running on a single node. I’m interested in the 16 MB message size.
1) I expected mpi_gather on a single node to have throughput of roughly the memory bandwidth. Currently it’s averaging my less, i.e. ~ 7 Gbps for the 16MB message size. Adding MPICH_NO_LOCAL=1 gives essentially identical results. 2) The latency changes by > 10x over 100 iterations. Is that normal?
