Dear alex:
yes! i use the command: ompi_info -a, check the setting of opneib.
there is a plenty of parameter.
which one is significant ?

i've heard similar reports with other codes. perhaps openmpi 1.3
and 1.2 have somewhat different default settings and efficiencies for
the choice of some algorithms (particularly collectives). depending on
hardware (OpenMPI does adjust some of its settings to the individual
HCA) you may just run into less optimal algorithms for your particular
usage and hardware. there are a large number of parameters in the
openib layer of OpenMPI that can be used to tweak the algorithms.
check out: ompi_info -a
cheers,
axel.
