[Wrf-users] Low performance of cluster

[jagan TNAU]

Dear WRF Users,
We have purchased MAC 16 Xserve nodes 3.0 Ghz (2 x quad core} to setup a
mini cluster. The nodes are interconnected with 24 port gigabit switch to
the gigbit ethernet card of the machines. I am using MPICH2 for MPI and
Intel fortran compiler and compiled the WRF. When we tested for the
efficiency two nodes only perform better ie 20 % efficient than the single
node run. but when we started increasing the nodes and WRF run is made the
performance is poorer than the single node.

We made a good amount of browsing but we have not found a solution yet. All
suggestions are welcome.
