*** IMPORTANT NOTE: The SAME OPTIONS must be passed to both server and client.
-Common Options to all tests:
+Options in the tests (some options are applicable to part of the tests):
-p, --port=<port> listen on/connect to port <port> (default: 18515)
+ -c, --connection=<RC/UC> connection type RC/UC (default RC)
-m, --mtu=<mtu> mtu size (default: 1024)
-d, --ib-dev=<dev> use IB device <dev> (default: first device found)
-i, --ib-port=<port> use port <port> of IB device (default: 1)
-a, --all run sizes from 2 till 2^23
-t, --tx-depth=<dep> size of tx queue (default: 50)
-n, --iters=<iters> number of exchanges (at least 100, default: 1000)
+ -u, --qp-timeout=<timeout> QP timeout, timeout value is 4 usec * 2^timeout
+ (default 14\n)
+ -g, --post=<num of posts> number of posts for each qp in the chain
+ (default tx_depth). for write_bw test
+ -g, --mcg send messages to multicast group(only available
+ in UD connection. for send tests
+ -o, --outs=<num> num of outstanding read/atom (default 4)
+ -q, --qp=<num of qp's> num of qp's (default 1)

+ -I, --inline_size=<size> max size of message to be sent in inline mode
+ (default 400)
-C, --report-cycles report times in cpu cycle units
(default: microseconds)
-H, --report-histogram print out all results
-U, --report-unsorted (implies -H) print out unsorted results
(default: sorted)
-V, --version display version number
+ -F, --CPU-freq do not fail even if cpufreq_ondemand module is
+ loaded
+ -N, --no peak-bw cancel peak-bw calculation (default with peak-bw)
+ -e, --events sleep on CQ events (default poll)
+ -l, --signal signal completion on each msg
+ -b, --bidirectional measure bidirectional bandwidth
+ (default unidirectional)
*** IMPORTANT NOTE: You need to be running a Subnet Manager on the switch or
on one of the nodes in your fabric.
