There is not, right now. However, this is mainly because back when I implemented the processor affinity stuff in OMPI (well over a year ago), no one had any opinions on exactly what interface to expose to the use. :-)

So right now there's only this lame control:

I am not opposed to implementing more flexible processor affinity controls, but the Big Discussion over the past few months is exactly how to expose it to the end user. There have been several formats proposed (e.g., mpirun command line parameters, magic MPI attributes, MCA parameters, etc.), but nothing that has been "good" and "right". So here's the time to chime in -- anyone have any opinions on this?

Hello,
i cant figure out, is there a way with open-mpi to bind all
threads on a given node to a specified subset of CPUs.
For example, on a multi-socket multi-core machine, i want to use
only a single core on each CPU.
Thank You.

Best Regards,
Alexander Shaposhnikov
