Task 3: Application-Specific Tuning

Now that you have completed the cluster-specific tuning, you can focus on optimizing Intel® MPI Library for your application. You can use the above cluster-specific methods and apply them to your application-specific tuning, with the following modifications:

  1. The layout of your application (such as hosts and process count per host) is set on your mpirun command line, outside of mpitune.
  2. Use your application instead of the micro benchmarks mentioned above.
  3. Use the app.xml configuration file instead of imb.xml.
