The poster discusses MPI-2 tools for benchmarking and extracting information on features of interconnect in HPC clusters. Authors develop a toolkit named "network_tests2". This toolkit highlights hidden cluster's topology, illuminates the so called "jump points" in latency during message transfer, allows user to search defective cluster nodes and so on. The toolkit consists of several programs. The first one is an MPI-program that performs message transfer in several modes to provide certain communication activity or benchmarking a chosen MPI-function and collects some statistics. The output of this program is a set of communicative matrices which are stored as a NetCDF file. The toolkit includes programs that perform clustering data and provide GUI for visualisation and comparison of results obtained from different clusters. This poster shows some results obtained from Russian supercomputers such as Lomonosov T500 system. We also present data on Infiniband Mellanox and Blue Gene/P interconnect technologies.
