Hello,

I am running DL_POLY in various Xserver 8 processor with a myrinet network.using mx-1.2.7

While I keep in the same node the process scales reasonably well but in the moment I hit the network ...

I will like to try to maximize the mx network before trying to touch the program code.

Have you run mx_pingpong between the nodes to determine what raw performance you are getting?

For each pair of machines, run:

Host foo:
$ mx_pingpong -s

Host bar:
$ mx_pingpong -d foo -S 0 -E 5000000 -M 2

where "-d foo" means the MX hostname of foo. It could be foo or foo:0 (or foo:1 if you have two NICs, etc.).

See http://www.myri.com/serve/cache/455.html for more details.

Repeat the above after setting MX_RCACHE=1 on both hosts.

Is there some place where I can check what the mca params really means? Can anyone give me a hint where it would be better to look to optimize OMPI1.3 for macosx?

Thanks

Ricardo
