Hi all,<br><br>Well, i got a program that make a kind of benchmark that measure the transfer rate of process writes into a file, in my case i am working with shared folder provided by NFS Server between two machines.<br><br>
I would like to know your experiences with MPI IO over NFS and other file systems. What ranges of transfer rates did you get in your tests. <br><br>With a certain program here that generates random numbers and writes them into a file in shared folder, i got with one local process, transfer rates about 350 MB/s, with 2 local processes 570 MB/s.
<br><br>Well i see some articles about I/O tests, and the high transfers rate are about 700 MB/s. Then i think if this rates that i got here are correct. Do you recomend some benchmark to test I/O operations?<br><br>When i try to use 2 processes, being one of them non local, i got out of range values for transfer rate and no writes for no one of them . Then i tried to execute this program in the slave node usign ssh, then i access the non local node by ssh, and execute there the program. For my surprise, in this case, it writes for the 2 processes, however during the execution a "**io permission denied" messages have appeared, the writes have executed on the 2 processes, local and no local, and offsets correclty figure out. The transfer rate now, decreased a lot, only 10MB/s.
<br><br>Do you know something that could be causing this problems? <br><br>Thaks for all for the previous helps, thanks Geoff J.<br><br>Sorry for my poor english.<br>Luiz Mendes<br>UFJF<br><br><br>
