Yes, I was going to aggregate some of the conversations that I have had (four of them, thank you much for the responses). The consensus was that neither hwloc nor OpenMPI were appropriate for my project. The use of shared memory was proposed by Jeff Squyres and one other person. From there is

To follow up for the web thread: I talked with Tim about this off-list. Not only will Open MPI likely not work in Tim's environment, MPI itself is probably too much for what he's trying to do. > On Mar 21, 2018, at 10:49 PM, Ralph H Castain wrote: > > I don’t see how Open MPI can operate with

My apologies for the duplicate posts. This was originally sent from my university email account. However, there was a configuration error at the mailing list host site that prevented email exchange between the host and my university, including confirmation that I had subscribed. Jeff Squyres

Hi Brice, Thank you for your response. Yes, possibly hardwiring everything would be easier. I was thinking I could use OpenMPI for the signaling between the cores on an OS that doesn't support multi-processing, using the shmem approach. The executable is the same for each CPU image, but the

Hello I am available for off-line discussion for the hwloc side of things. But things look complicated here from your summary below. I guess there's no need for binding on such a system. And topology is quite simple, so it might be easier to hardwire everything. Brice Le 20/03/2018 à 08:36, Ti
