          I think the results are stable enough. Perhaps you could also
          try the following tests, and see if similar trend exists:<br>
          - MPICH/socket (set `--with-device=ch3:sock` at configure)<br>
          - A socket-based pingpong test without MPI. <br>
          <br>
          At this point, I could not think of any MPI-specific design
          for 2k/8k messages. My guess is that it is related to your
          network connection.

                <p>The standard deviation of 8K message is so high and
                  that implies it actually not producing any consistent
                  latency time. Looks like that's the reason for 8K is
                  taking less time than 4K.</p>
                <p><br>
                </p>
                <p>Meanwhile, 2K has standard deviation less than 5 but
                  1K message latency timing are more densely populated
                  than 2K. So probably this is the explanation for 2K
                  message less latency time.</p>

                    I think Jeff means that you should run your
                    experiment with more iterations in order to get a
                    stable results.<br>
                    - Increase the iteration of for loop in each
                    execution (I think osu benchmark allows you to set

                    - Run the experiments 10 or 100 times, and take the

                    If you see a very small standard deviation (e.g.,
