Hi WL,<br><br>What mpiexec command are you using to run your program ? i.e. "mpiexec -n 2 xprogy"<br>where xprogy is the name of your program ?<br><br>What is your timing for the serial case and the timing for the multiple core case ? Is it a short program that you can list here so we can have a look at it ? Have you tried to place timing marks in the program to analyse what is happening ?<br>

<div><br></div>
<div>I am new to MPICH. I just finished a test program which does</div>
<div>matrix multiplication. When I used 'mpiexec' to execute the </div>
<div>program, I found that the more processes, the longer it takes.</div>
<div>Not sure if the result is correct or not? Or I should do some </div>
<div>things more to improve it?</div>
