Abstract
TEG is a new methodology for point-to-point messaging developed as a part of the Open MPI project. Initial performance measurements are presented, showing comparable ping-pong latencies in a single NIC configuration, but with bandwidths up to 30% higher than that achieved by other leading MPI implementations. Homogeneous dual-NIC configurations further improved performance, but the heterogeneous case requires continued investigation.
