We manage to get 900+ Mbps on a broadcom, 570x chip. We run jumbo frames and use a force10 switch. This is with also openmpi-1.0.2 (have not tried rebuilding netpipe with 1.1.2) Also see great results with netpipe (mpi) on infiniband. Great work so far guys.

122: 8388608 bytes      3 times -->    932.65 Mbps in   68621.83 usec
123: 8388611 bytes      3 times -->    932.59 Mbps in   68625.85 usec

I don't know what your bandwidth tester look like, but 140MB/s it's
way too much for a single Gige card, except if it's a bidirectional
bandwidth. Usually, on a new generation Gige card (Broadcom
Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express) with a
AMD processor (AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+) I only manage to
get around 800Mb/s out of a point-to-point transfer. With an external
card not on the OCI-express bus I barely get 600Mb/s...

Why you don't use a real network performance tool such as Netpipe. At
least it will insure you that the bandwidth is the one you expect.

Hi,

Sometime before I have posted doubts about using dual gigabit support
fully. See I get ~140MB/s full duplex transfer rate in each of
following
runs.....

mpirun --mca btl_tcp_if_include eth0 -n 4 -bynode -hostfile host a.out

mpirun --mca btl_tcp_if_include eth1 -n 4 -bynode -hostfile host a.out

How to combine these two port or use a proper routing table in
place host
file? I am using openmpi-1.1 version.
