I modified/instrumented the OSU MP latency benchmark to measure time taken by each transaction in order to get min and max latencies, in addition to the average that's reported currently.<br>
I noticed that some of the transactions, albeit few, took > 100usec and > 1msec.<br>
<br>Does anybody have any ideas about what could be causing such large round trip times (>1msec) for a few transactions while the average looks pretty good ( 10usec ranges) ?<br>Is it network or system issues?<br><br>
Here is a snapshot of the output and attached is the modified code. <br>
<br>i'm using OFED 1.3, CentOS 5 and openmpi-1.2.5.<br><br>Any insights or ideas would very helpful. Thanks in advance.<br><br>Below shows # of transactions over 100usec and 1msec.<br>Iteration count was set to 60000 for each test.<br>
