"dmesg |grep Node"  on Cell will show :
Node 0: CPUS 0-1
Node 1:  CPUS 2-3
.
Linux on Cell/BE  puts the  CPU-node mapping in /sys/devices/system/node
instead of /sys/devices/system/cpu.

can you update me with the mapping or the way to get it from the OS on the
Cell.


thanks

  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.

        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

                    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.
