I'll see what I can do when next I have access to a slurm machine - hopefully in a day or two. Are you sure you are at the top of the trunk? I reviewed the code, and it clearly detects that the default hostile is empty and ignores it if so. Like I said, I'm not seeing this behavior, and

When using Open MPI v1.4.5 I get ~1.1us. That's the same result as I get with Open MPI v1.5.x using mpi_yield_when_idle=0. So I think there is a bug in Open MPI (v1.5.4 and v1.5.5rc2) regarding to the automatic performance mode selection. When enabling the degraded performance mode for Open MPI

Hi Ron, Excellent work! Indeed - simply dropping the DMBs can lead to memory consistency issues even on ARMv6. The architectural semantics for memory barriers exist in ARMv6 though - they just weren't given dedicated mnemonics. What you could do is to simply replace the inline "dmb" sequences

We'd need a few ifdefs, effectively. One on the dmb/mcr and one on the 64-bit, depending on v6k or higher. This would provide ARMv6 support only though - ARMv5 or earlier (like debian "armel") will still miss out. > -Original Message- > From: devel-boun...@open-mpi.org

There is a serious chilled water issue at IU right now; all non-essential servers (including Open MPI's nightly build server) have been turned off. So we have no new "official" 1.5.5 RC, and no new nightlies will be produced until further notice. However, to keep the 1.5.5 release train
