Hello
We have a small cluster running LAM/MPI 7 and I am trying to answer
some questions from the scientist running his processes.
When we received our licences for LS-DYNA, the scientist ran some
benchmarks to test the cluster and find any hidden problems. While
running the program, some questions came up in how different aspects
of the cluster orientation were affecting run times and posted the
question to me.
We are running Ganglia Cluster Toolkit as a general monitor, but this
package (as far as I have had a chance to learn) won't give me the
metrics that I feel I require, especially in small time chunks.
XMPI looks promising but there is no mention of a version for LAM 7.x
as of yet. Any word on when there will be a version? I don't want to
subscribe to the xmpi list just for this question.
Any suggestions or links would be appreciated on how I could possibly
gather metrics on the LAM or MPI processes.
