Dear OpenMPI user group, in former OpenMPI release versions I have used a combination of these two options: --mca rmaps_dist_device --map-by dist:span in order to let OpenMPI automatically map the processes close to the network card. This was useful for PingPong benchmarks using only one process per node for example.
It seems that the option -map-by dist:span is no longer supported in OpenMPI 5 releases. Is there a new alternative to achieve an automatic process pinning close to the Network card? Thanks a lot for your support and regards, Rene' __ \ / _____/ _____/ NEC Deutschland GmbH / \ / / / HPCE Division / \ \ / ____/ / / \ / / Fritz-Vomfelde-Straße 14-16 __/ \_______/_______/ D-40457 Düsseldorf, Germany http://www.nec.com/en/de Rene' Puttin Tel.: +49 152 22851539 Benchmarking Expert Fax: +49 0211 5369 199 Mail: rene.put...@emea.nec.com NEC Deutschland GmbH, Fritz-Vomfelde-Straße 14-16, D-40547 Düsseldorf Geschäftsführer: Christopher Richard Jackson, Handelsregister: Düsseldorf HRB 57941, VAT ID: DE129424743
