I am having a 4 nodes cluster of IBM Power5 with 4procs/node.When I try to run HPL through LAM/MPI on this cluster,I notice that the processes are sleeping for a very long time and the performance achieved is very less. I am not able to understand why this is happening whereas everything is fine for ch_p4mpd device of mpich and I am getting good performance. ::> If I give only one process per node means only 4 processes on the cluster then also everything is fine and for 4 processes(only one node occupied) on a single node everything is fine too. ::> My hostfile also has the lines like cnode21 cpu=4 Please let me know the reason Thanks in Advance Dhruva
