The 1.6 branch is a stable series - no new features will be added to it, so your patch won't be going there. I'd focus solely on the trunk.
OK, but what would you recommend for benchmarking? a local 1.6 checkout?
What you're doing with he RAS is fine for now. In the next few days, I'll be changing the API to the RAS components, but it isn't a big change and we can adjust as you get closer. The orte_job_t object does contain the number of procs to be launched prior to the RAS being invoked, but you have to compute it. Each app_context contains that number - so to get it for the job, you cycle across all the app_contexts and add it up.
I'll change my module as you suggested.
The mapper assigns the final num_procs value in the orte_job_t object. We do this because the user can also run the job without specifying the number of procs, and we'll simply run one proc for every allocated slot. It's a popular option, but wouldn't work here for obvious reasons.
Do you mean the rmaps component? Alex
