Marcin, i ran a simple test with v1.10.1rc1 under a cpuset with - one core (two threads 0,16) on socket 0 - two cores (two threads each 8,9,24,25) on socket 1
$ mpirun -np 3 -bind-to core ./hello_c -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A request was made to bind to that would result in binding more processes than cpus on a resource: Bind to: CORE Node: rapid #processes: 2 #cpus: 1 You can override this protection by adding the "overload-allowed" option to your binding directive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- as you already pointed, default mapping is by socket. so on one hand, we can consider this behavior is a feature :we try to bind two processes to socket 0, so the --oversubscribe option is required
(and it does what it should : $ mpirun -np 3 -bind-to core --oversubscribe -report-bindings ./hello_c[rapid:16278] MCW rank 0 bound to socket 0[core 0[hwt 0-1]]: [BB/../../../../../../..][../../../../../../../..] [rapid:16278] MCW rank 1 bound to socket 1[core 8[hwt 0-1]]: [../../../../../../../..][BB/../../../../../../..] [rapid:16278] MCW rank 2 bound to socket 0[core 0[hwt 0-1]]: [BB/../../../../../../..][../../../../../../../..] Hello, world, I am 1 of 3, (Open MPI v1.10.1rc1, package: Open MPI gilles@rapid Distribution, ident: 1.10.1rc1, repo rev: v1.10.0-84-g15ae63f, Oct 03, 2015, 128) Hello, world, I am 2 of 3, (Open MPI v1.10.1rc1, package: Open MPI gilles@rapid Distribution, ident: 1.10.1rc1, repo rev: v1.10.0-84-g15ae63f, Oct 03, 2015, 128) Hello, world, I am 0 of 3, (Open MPI v1.10.1rc1, package: Open MPI gilles@rapid Distribution, ident: 1.10.1rc1, repo rev: v1.10.0-84-g15ae63f, Oct 03, 2015, 128)
and on the other hand, we could consider ompi should be a bit smarter, and uses socket 1 for task 2 since socket 0 is fully allocated and there is room on socket 1.
Ralph, any thoughts ? bug or feature ? Marcin, you mentionned you had one failure with 1.10.1rc1 and -bind-to core could you please send the full details (script, allocation and output) in your slurm script, you can dosrun -N $SLURM_NNODES -n $SLURM_NNODES --cpu_bind=none -l grep Cpus_allowed_list /proc/self/status

Hi, all, I played a bit more and it seems that the problem results from trg_obj = opal_hwloc_base_find_min_bound_target_under_obj()called in rmaps_base_binding.c / bind_downwards being wrong. I do not know the reason, but I think I know when the problem happens (at least on 1.10.1rc1). It seems that by default openmpi maps by socket. The error happens when for a given compute node there is a different number of cores used on each socket. Consider previously studied case (the debug outputs I sent in last post). c1-8, which was source of error, has 5 mpi processes assigned, and the cpuset is the following:0, 5, 9, 13, 14, 16, 21, 25, 29, 30Cores 0,5 are on socket 0, cores 9, 13, 14 are on socket 1. Binding progresses correctly up to and including core 13 (see end of file out.1.10.1rc2, before the error). That is 2 cores on socket 0, and 2 cores on socket 1. Error is thrown when core 14 should be bound - extra core on socket 1 with no corresponding core on socket 0. At that point the returned trg_obj points to the first core on the node (os_index 0, socket 0).I have submitted a few other jobs and I always had an error in such situation. Moreover, if I now use --map-by core instead of socket, the error is gone, and I get my expected binding:rank 0 @ compute-1-2.local 1, 17, rank 1 @ compute-1-2.local 2, 18, rank 2 @ compute-1-2.local 3, 19, rank 3 @ compute-1-2.local 4, 20, rank 4 @ compute-1-4.local 1, 17, rank 5 @ compute-1-4.local 15, 31, rank 6 @ compute-1-8.local 0, 16, rank 7 @ compute-1-8.local 5, 21, rank 8 @ compute-1-8.local 9, 25, rank 9 @ compute-1-8.local 13, 29, rank 10 @ compute-1-8.local 14, 30, rank 11 @ compute-1-13.local 3, 19, rank 12 @ compute-1-13.local 4, 20, rank 13 @ compute-1-13.local 5, 21, rank 14 @ compute-1-13.local 6, 22, rank 15 @ compute-1-13.local 7, 23, rank 16 @ compute-1-16.local 12, 28, rank 17 @ compute-1-16.local 13, 29, rank 18 @ compute-1-16.local 14, 30, rank 19 @ compute-1-16.local 15, 31, rank 20 @ compute-1-23.local 2, 18, rank 29 @ compute-1-26.local 11, 27, rank 21 @ compute-1-23.local 3, 19, rank 30 @ compute-1-26.local 13, 29, rank 22 @ compute-1-23.local 4, 20, rank 31 @ compute-1-26.local 15, 31, rank 23 @ compute-1-23.local 8, 24, rank 27 @ compute-1-26.local 1, 17, rank 24 @ compute-1-23.local 13, 29, rank 28 @ compute-1-26.local 6, 22, rank 25 @ compute-1-23.local 14, 30, rank 26 @ compute-1-23.local 15, 31,Using --map-by core seems to fix the issue on 1.8.8, 1.10.0 and 1.10.1rc1. However, there is still a difference in behavior between 1.10.1rc1 and earlier versions. In the SLURM job described in last post, 1.10.1rc1 fails to bind only in 1 case, while the earlier versions fail in 21 out of 32 cases. You mentioned there was a bug in hwloc. Not sure if it can explain the difference in behavior.Hope this helps to nail this down.

Could you run lstopo on one of those compute nodes and send the output? I’m just suspicious because I’m not seeing a clear pairing of HT numbers in your output, but HT numbering is BIOS-specific and I may just not be understanding your particular pattern. Our error message is clearly indicating that we are seeing individual HTs (and not complete cores) assigned, and I don’t know the source of that confusion.On Oct 3, 2015, at 8:28 AM, marcin.krotkiewski <marcin.krotkiew...@gmail.com> wrote: On 10/03/2015 04:38 PM, Ralph Castain wrote:If mpirun isn’t trying to do any binding, then you will of course get the right mapping as we’ll just inherit whatever we received.Yes. I meant that whatever you received (what SLURM gives) is a correct cpu map and assigns _whole_ CPUs, not a single HT to MPI processes. In the case mentioned earlier openmpi should start 6 tasks on c1-30. If HT would be treated as separate and independent cores, sched_getaffinity of an MPI process started on c1-30 would return a map with 6 entries only. In my case it returns a map with 12 entries - 2 for each core. So one process is in fact allocated both HTs, not only one. Is what I'm saying correct?Looking at your output, it’s pretty clear that you are getting independent HTs assigned and not full cores.How do you mean? Is the above understanding wrong? I would expect that on c1-30 with --bind-to core openmpi should bind to logical cores 0 and 16 (rank 0), 1 and 17 (rank 2) and so on. All those logical cores are available in sched_getaffinity map, and there is twice as many logical cores as there are MPI processes started on the node.My guess is that something in slurm has changed such that it detects that HT has been enabled, and then begins treating the HTs as completely independent cpus. Try changing “-bind-to core” to “-bind-to hwthread -use-hwthread-cpus” and see if that worksI have and the binding is wrong. For example, I got this output rank 0 @ compute-1-30.local 0, rank 1 @ compute-1-30.local 16, Which means that two ranks have been bound to the same physical core (logical cores 0 and 16 are two HTs of the same core). If I use --bind-to core, I get the following correct binding rank 0 @ compute-1-30.local 0, 16, The problem is many other ranks get bad binding with 'rank XXX is not bound (or bound to all available processors)' warning. But I think I was not entirely correct saying that 1.10.1rc1 did not fix things. It still might have improved something, but not everything. Consider this job: SLURM_JOB_CPUS_PER_NODE='5,4,6,5(x2),7,5,9,5,7,6' SLURM_JOB_NODELIST='c8-[31,34],c9-[30-32,35-36],c10-[31-34]' If I run 32 tasks as follows (with 1.10.1rc1) mpirun --hetero-nodes --report-bindings --bind-to core -np 32 ./affinity I get the following error: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A request was made to bind to that would result in binding more processes than cpus on a resource: Bind to: CORE Node: c9-31 #processes: 2 #cpus: 1 You can override this protection by adding the "overload-allowed" option to your binding directive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I now use --bind-to core:overload-allowed, then openmpi starts and _most_ of the threads are bound correctly (i.e., map contains two logical cores in ALL cases), except this case that required the overload flag: rank 15 @ compute-9-31.local 1, 17, rank 16 @ compute-9-31.local 11, 27, rank 17 @ compute-9-31.local 2, 18, rank 18 @ compute-9-31.local 12, 28, rank 19 @ compute-9-31.local 1, 17, Note pair 1,17 is used twice.
