MPI Latency Test Performance
When the test completes successfully, you see output that is similar to the following:

MPI Latency Test Performance
This section describes the MPI Latency test performance. The MPI Latency test is another good test to 
ensure that MPI and your installation are functioning properly. This procedure requires your ability to 
log in to remote nodes without a login name and password, and it requires that the MPI directory is in 
your PATH. To test MPI latency, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Log in to your local host.
Step 2
Create a text file containing the names of two hosts on which to run the test. These hostnames are likely 
to be unique to your cluster. The first name should be the name of the host where you are currently 
logged.
The following example shows one way to create a hostfile named hostfile that contains the hostnames 
host1 and host2: 
host1$ cat > /tmp/hostfile <<EOF
host1
host2
EOF
host1$ 
Step 3
Run the MPI Latency test across multiple hosts. Use the mpirun command to launch MPI jobs. The 
command uses these command-line parameters:
The -np keyword to specify the number of processes
The number of processes (an integer; use 2 for this test)
The –hostfile keyword to specify a file containing the hosts on which to run
