This has been done. You can find the benchmark used for message rate
measurements at
http://www.pathscale.com/performance/InfiniPath/mpi_multibw/mpi_multibw.html
It is essentially a bandwidth test that can be run on multiple processes
per node simultaneously, and happens to report Message Rate as well as
bandwidth.
That's new, I didn't find it on earlier occasions. Good!
