[MVAPICH-discuss] Install MVAPICH 1

Jonathan,
What I am saying is that when I monitor the network while my application
is running, no packets are being transferred over InfiniBand, while
Ethernet is busy. Maybe the SGI Clustervis monitor software is not
catching the InfiniBand traffic. It outputs every 2 seconds. Is there
another interactive utility that I can use to monitor the networks while
my program is executing?

Thanks,

Fred

I'm not quite sure what is being asked here.  The osu_bw numbers seem to
indicate that Infiniband is being used.  Are you saying that your
application is still not using Infiniband even after recompiling it or
are you saying that it is now working?
