Read this arcticle to the end:



"Finally, lets take a quick look at some performance measurements. From the Intel MPI Benchmark Suite V3.1 I used the MPI-1 part to measure the latency and bandwidth. Please note that you have to divide the PingPong-latency by two in order to get the "real" MPI-latency. In doing so we see a MPI latency of aboud 2.9 us on our 4x DDR InfiniBand. "


What? They divided the number of the benchmark by two? Correct me if i'm wrong but i was always assuming that the benchmark does this himself!


Can somebody confirm that? 


So i answer myself:


ftp://ftp.uybhm.itu.edu.tr/belgeler/sistem_kullanimi/IMB_ug-3.0.pdf


Page 10 Chapter 3.3.2.1 PingPong: "time = Δt/2 (in μsec) as indicated in Figure 1". So the tool already shows just the one-way-time. No division necessary.


Cheers,

Jan
