Open MPI uses RDMA under the covers for send/receive when it makes sense. See these FAQ entries for more details: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=openfabrics#large-message-tuning-1.2 http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=openfabrics#large-message-tuning-1.3

I found a presentation on the web that showed significant performance benefits for the one-sided communication, I presumed it was from hardware RDMA support that the one-sided calls could take advantage of. But I gather from the your question that is not necessarily the case. Are you aware of

Have you run your application through a debugger, or examined the corefiles to see where exactly the segv is occurring? That may shed some insight into what the exact problem is. On Dec 16, 2010, at 4:20 AM, Vaz, Guilherme wrote: > Ok, ok. It is indeed a CFD program, and Gus got it right.
