Thanks again!  I tried --display-devel-map and I think it provides a bit too 
much info for our needs.  However, it is nice to know.

BTW, some interesting behavior in using "--report-bindings --bind-to-core" vs 
"--display-map".  

*  If I use "--report-bindings --bind-to-core" but the MPI tasks on a host fail 
to start up, then nothing is reported.  For example, I had a problem where a 
job started across 4 hosts but the hosts could not communicate with one another 
via TCP/IP.

* If I use "--display-map" then the mapping is shown, even in the failure case 
I mentioned in the last bullet.

* What is nice about "--report-bindings --bind-to-core" over "--display-map" is 
that it will report the binding of each rank to CPU, whereas the latter will 
show you what  ranks are running on a given host.  For our needs, this may be 
sufficient, tho it would be nice to have the CPU bindings shown as well

* If using "--report-bindings --bind-to-core" with OpenMPI 1.4.1 then the 
bindings on just the head node are shown.  In 1.6.1, full bindings across all 
hosts are shown.  (I'd have to read release notes on this...)

Oooooooh...it's Jeff's fault!

Fwiw you can get even more detailed mapping info with --display-devel-map
