If not, how can we guarantee this to happen?
Sadly, the MPI mapping functions in Open MPI are effectively no-ops -- if you ask for re-ordering, OMPI says "sure!" but then gives you back exactly the same mapping. :-( That being said, the mapping functionality is actually a plugin in Open MPI (in the "topo" framework). It would not be too difficult to write a plugin for the mapping that you want. Would this be of interest to you? I'd be happy to talk you through the process of writing such a plugin. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
