Ben,

in my case (two sockets, 6 cores per socket, 2 threads per core) and with Open MPI master


$ cat rf
rank 0=n0 slot=0
rank 1=n0 slot=12
rank 2=n0 slot=6
rank 3=n0 slot=18

$ mpirun -np 4 --rankfile rf --mca rmaps_rank_file_physical 1 --bind-to hwthread --report-bindings true [n0:38430] MCW rank 0 bound to socket 0[core 0[hwt 0]]: [B./../../../../..][../../../../../..] [n0:38430] MCW rank 1 bound to socket 0[core 0[hwt 1]]: [.B/../../../../..][../../../../../..] [n0:38430] MCW rank 2 bound to socket 1[core 6[hwt 0]]: [../../../../../..][B./../../../../..] [n0:38430] MCW rank 3 bound to socket 1[core 6[hwt 1]]: [../../../../../..][.B/../../../../..]


Cheers,

Gilles

Hi,

I'm trying to map by hwthread but only partially populating sockets. For
example, I'm looking to create arrangements like this:

Rank 0: [B./../../../../../../..][../../../../../../../..]
Rank 1: [.B/../../../../../../..][../../../../../../../..]
Rank 2: [../../../../../../../..][B./../../../../../../..]
Rank 3: [../../../../../../../..][.B/../../../../../../..]

Problem is, I can't work out a --map-by that will give this to me, short of
binding two to each core and using a wrapper around the binary to further
bind each to its hwthread. I thought of using a rankfile, but can't work out
how to specify hwthreads in that.

Any suggestions? Or is such a wrapper the only way to do it for now?

Yes, it's very strange, and almost certainly won't perform very well, but
I'd like to include it for completeness - I'm comparing several systems,
including KNL (where SMT is important to get good performance in most
cases).

Thanks,
Ben
