<div> Hello Andreas,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> the tests were always done with only one thread as I was interested in the unsmeared
<div> peak performance. Will also compare <a href="http://1.6.4.3">1.6.4.3</a> and 1.6.5 with 2-4 simultaneous threads.</div>
<div> BTW, during the tests I always had this setting on the client: "options ksocklnd irq_affinity=0".</div></div>
<div> </div>
<div> In these tests, I always used the stock OFED 1.2+ that comes with the RHEL4</div>
<div> distribution. In case of official 1.6.5 kernel which comes without IB support I had to add</div>
<div> it by hand starting with the official kernel tree for this exact kernel. So OFED 1.3 may</div>
<div> hardly be blamed and LST would reveal nothing, right?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> I will try to check the CPU loads for both cases at the first opportunity, hopefully before</div>
<div> the end of this week</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Regards - Andrei.</div>
