The times are pretty variable. And there is some tuning that can be done inside Crafty as it really expects bus-level speeds, not infiniband latency, which would likely be somewhat better with different internal settings...

No they are not. Have you seen the example given in the test code that I mentioned?
Code:

Memory allocated on cpu 0
0: time = 7.95079 seconds
1: time = 7.93437 seconds
2: time = 10.2906 seconds
3: time = 10.3224 seconds

This has a 7 sec to 10 sec difference between accessing a far/near memory.

Those times don't really say much about how a CHESS program like Crafty will scale. The locks will be important and at infiniband latencies, they will likely hurt significantly..

Like I have mentioned before, I don't think inifiniband is involved here. That is used only for connecting "nodes" with 32 cores each. The cluster have thousands of cores where each node an HP Prolient G5 servers 8sockets X AMD optern quad-core. So each cpu is connected to the other through the HyperTransport interface Machine spec

Here is the other machine with 2socketX 12 core AMD
