Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I tried to execute first a process by using
mpirun -machinefile hostfile.txt --slot-list 0:1 -np 1
but it gives the same as error as mentioned previously.
Then, I created a rankfile with contents"
rank 0=t1.tools.xxx slot=0:0
rank 1=t1.tools.xxx slot=1:0.
and the used command
mpirun -machinefile hostfile.txt --rankfile my_rankfile.txt -np 2
but ended up getting same error. Is there any patch that I can
install in my system to make it
topology aware?
You may want to check that you have numa turned on.
If you look in your /etc/grub.conf file does the kernel line have
"numa=on" in it. If not I would suggest making a new boot line and
appending numa=on at the end. That way if the new boot line doesn't
work you'll be able to go back to the old one. Anyway, my boot line
that turns on numa looks like the following:
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS-up (2.6.9-67.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-67.EL ro root=LABEL=/ console=tty0
console=ttyS0,9600 rhgb quiet numa=on
And of course once you've saved the changes you'll need to reboot and
select the new boot line at the grub menu.

Thanks

The error is telling you that your OS doesn't support queries
telling us what cores are on which sockets, so we can't perform a
"bind to socket" operation. You can probably still "bind to core",
so if you know what cores are in which sockets, then you could use
the rank_file mapper to assign processes to groups of cores in a
socket.
It's just that we can't do it automatically because the OS won't
give us the required info.
See "mpirun -h" for more info on slot lists.
