HI Tim,
I have read that link, but I haven't understood if enabling processor
affinity are enabled also memory affinity because is written that:
"Note that memory affinity support is enabled only when processor
affinity is enabled"
Can i set processory affinity without memory affinity? This is my question..

didn't find memory affinity alone ( similar) parameter to set at 1.
The FAQ http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=tuning#using-paffinity has a
useful introduction to affinity. It's available in a default build, but not
enabled by default.
Memory affinity is implied by processor affinity. Your system libraries
are set up so as to cause any memory allocated to be made local to the
processor, if possible. That's one of the primary benefits of processor
affinity. Not being an expert in openmpi, I assume, in the absence of
further easily accessible documentation, there's no useful explicit way
to disable maffinity while using paffinity on platforms other than the
specified legacy platforms.
