Hi Seshendra,
If you have implemented hyperthreading by Enabling it in the BIOS, then when
you look at
cat /proc/cpuinfo output, you will see 2x the # of CPUs than the number of
cores on your system.
If that number of CPUs showing on a node = H, and the number of nodes in your
cluster with this same configuration is M,
Then you can run your program on up to N = H x M MPI ranks,
and your Open MPI mpirun command can use the
'-np N -npernode H' options to indicate this.
Note that with some applications, you may see very little benefit to
hyperthreading. In any case, you should also run on "-np N/2" ranks and add
the "-npernode H/2" setting to not use more ranks per node than you have cores
per node, and compare performance with N ranks (with H per node).

Hi,
I have written an code mpi and an iam trying to implement hyperthreading
environment. So could any one tell me how to implement and run the program in
open mpi.
Kindly help me.
Thanking you,
