Lenny,

     Thanks.
     I asked the Cell/BE Linux Kernel developer to get the CPU  mapping :)
The mapping is fixed in current kernel.

According to https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/milestone/Open%20MPI%201.3
very soon,
but you can download trunk version http://www.open-mpi.org/svn/  and check
if it works for you.

how can you check mapping CPUs by OS , my cat /proc/cpuinfo shows very
little info

  Hi, Lenny,

  So rank file map will be supported in OpenMPI 1.3? I'm using OpenMPI1.2.6
  and did not find parameter "rmaps_rank_file_".
  Do you have idea when OpenMPI 1.3 will be available? OpenMPI 1.3 has
  quite a few features I'm looking for.

  Thanks,

  Mi

  Hi,


  If I understand you correctly the most suitable way to do it is by
  paffinity that we have in Open MPI 1.3 and the trank.
  how ever usually OS is distributing processes evenly between sockets by
  it self.

  There still no formal FAQ due to a multiple reasons but you can read how
  to use it in the attached scratch ( there were few name changings of the
  params, so check with ompi_info )

  shared memory is used between processes that share same machine, and
  openib is used between different machines ( hostnames ), no special mca
  params are needed.

  Best Regards
  Lenny,

        Working with a CellBlade cluster (QS22), the requirement is to have
        one
        instance of the executable running on each socket of the blade
        (there are 2
        sockets). The application is of the 'domain decomposition' type,
        and each
        instance is required to often send/receive data with both the
        remote blades and
        the neighbor socket.

        Question is : which specification must be used for the mca btl
        component
        to force 1) shmem type messages when communicating with this
        neighbor socket,
        while 2) using openib to communicate with the remote blades ?
        Is '-mca btl sm,openib,self' suitable for this ?

        Also, which debug flags could be used to crosscheck that the
        messages are
        _actually_ going thru the right channel for a given channel,
        please ?

        We are currently using OpenMPI 1.2.5 shipped with RHEL5.2 (ppc64).
        Which version do you think is currently the most optimised for
        these
        processors and problem type ? Should we go towards OpenMPI 1.2.8
        instead ?
        Or even try some OpenMPI 1.3 nightly build ?

        Thanks in advance for your help, Gilbert.
