Okay, I'll look into it. I suspect the problem is due to the redefinition of the paffinity API to clarify physical vs logical processors - more than likely, the maffinity interface suffers from the same problem we had to correct over there.

We'll report back later with an estimate of how quickly this can be fixed.

Thanks

Ralph,

I compiled a clean checkout from the trunk (r19392), the problem is still the same.

Hi Camille
What OMPI version are you using? We just changed the paffinity module last night, but did nothing to maffinity. However, it is possible that the maffinity framework makes some calls into paffinity that need to adjust.
So version number would help a great deal in this case.
Thanks

Hello,

I am trying to run applications on a shared-memory machine. For the moment I am just trying to run tests on point-to-point communications (a trivial token ring) and collective operations (from the SkaMPI tests suite).

It runs smoothly if mpi_paffinity_alone is set to 0. For a number of processes which is larger than about 10, global communications just don't seem possible. Point-to-point communications seem to be OK.

But when I specify --mca mpi_paffinity_alone 1 in my command line, I get the following error:

mbind: Invalid argument

I looked into the code of maffinity/libnuma, and found out the error comes from

      numa_setlocal_memory(segments[i].mbs_start_addr,
                           segments[i].mbs_len);

in maffinity_libnuma_module.c.

The machine I am using is a Linux box running a 2.6.5-7 kernel.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

Camille
