I've had a test out the new version of WIEN2k (09). I'm seeing a
disturbing trend. It looks like 9 is *two times slower* for both hybrid
and mpi runs starting at 2cpus[1]. Both of these runs were with binaries
compiled in an identical fashion*. Same compiler, same scalapack
library, same math library, same mpi library, and same hardware. Can
someone else double check my work and run the mpi-benchmark code also
for both 8 and 9?
* Compiled identically with the exception of FFTW. v9 seems to add fftw
whereas v8 didn't have that requirement. I've tried the mpi-benchmark
with both single and double precision fftw libraries but that didn't
affect the results.
Thanks,
Scott
