While we're talking about MTUs, is the IB MTU tunable in uDAPL and/or Intel MPI via env var or config file? Looks like Intel MPI 2.0.1 uses 2K for IB MTU like MVAPICH does in OFED 1.0 rc4 and rc6, I'd like to try 1K with Intel MPI. Scott
There is no mechanism for me to modify the MTU using rdma_cm so whatever is returned in the path record is what you get with the OpenIB-cma provider. However, you could use the OpenIB-scm provider which is hard coded for 1K MTU as a comparision. Can you run with "-genv I_MPI_DAPL_PROVIDER OpenIB-scm" on your cluster?

I've enclosed some performance data, look at rc4 vs rc5 vs rc6 for Cougar/Cheetah/LionMini.Are there other benchmarks driving the changes in rc6 (and rc4)?
