MPI having bad performance in user mode, runs perfectly in root

Hi everyone,

This is very probably an installation issue of the Parallel Studio 2016 (update 1) on my system...So here are the details:

I have installed Intel Parallel Studio 2016 (update 1) on my server: two sockets with Intel Xeon processors (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 0 @ 2.00GHz), running Ubuntu 12.04 (I know that this is not supposed to be a supported OS...at least this is what the requirements checking thingy in the Parallel Studio install says...).

The problem is really simple:

If I am logged in as a regular user and if I use mpirun to run any program...The program execution takes forever. Looking at htop it seems that the used cores spend their time in "kernel" mode.

If I am logged in as root, using the same mpirun command, the programs runs perfectly.

I tried a "violent" solution by changing the permission of the directory /opt/intel to chmod ugo+rwx

But this did not anything.

Thanks in advance for your help!

TL;DR; Intel mpirun, runs normally in root, but when using a regular user it is extremely slow.
