By default, yes. However, you can select alternative mapping methods. Or...you could just use the mpirun cmd line option to report the binding of each process as it is started :-) Do "mpirun -h" to see all the options. The one you want is --report-bindings > >> For processor affinity see this FAQ entry - >> http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=all#using-paffinity > > Thank you, but that's where I had the information that I put in my previous > mail, so it doesn't answer to my question. Memory affinity is taken care of under-the-covers when paffinity is active.
