Ahh.... got it. Yeah, it does that. Actually a few megs between nodes

computation, which uses a lot of memory, also does quite big transfers

Yes. Big is of course relative ... :)
I agree with you that real application benchmarks are a fine thing.
However, this one only has 2 datapoints for 1 application at 1 data
size+node count with a potentially bogus MPI implementation, so it's
bit hard to interpret.
Rather hard to draw inferences (well apart from a binary yes/no)
As Ammasso is out of business, this is sadly nothing we could really use
these days.
Never fear, there are a half-dozen vendors selling 10 gbit TOE cards.
And nary a benchmark to be found.
