Yes it is a Westmere system.
Socket L#0 (P#0 CPUModel="Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7- 8870 @ 2.40GHz"
CPUType=x86_64)
L3Cache L#0 (size=30720KB linesize=64 ways=24)
L2Cache L#0 (size=256KB linesize=64 ways=8)
L1dCache L#0 (size=32KB linesize=64 ways=8)
L1iCache L#0 (size=32KB linesize=64 ways=4)
Core L#0 (P#0)
PU L#0 (P#0)
L2Cache L#1 (size=256KB linesize=64 ways=8)
L1dCache L#1 (size=32KB linesize=64 ways=8)
L1iCache L#1 (size=32KB linesize=64 ways=4)
Core L#1 (P#1)
PU L#1 (P#1)
So I guess each core has its own L1 and L2 caches. Maybe I shouldn't care
where or if the MPI processes are bound within a socket; if I can test it, that
will be good enough for me.
So my initial question is now changed to:
What is the best/easiest way to get this mapping? Rankfile?, --cpus-per-proc 2
--bind-to-socket, or something else?
RANK SOCKET CORE
0 0 unspecified
1 0 unspecified
2 1 unspecified
3 1 unspecified
Thanks

What processor and kernel is this? (see /proc/cpuinfo, or run "lstopo -v" and
look for attributes on the Socket line) You're hwloc output looks like an Intel
Xeon Westmere-EX (E7-48xx or E7-88xx).
The likwid output is likely wrong (maybe confused by the fact that hardware
threads are disabled).
