Try adding -display-devel-map to your cmd line so you can see what
OMPI thinks the binding and mapping policy is set to - that'll tell
you if the problem is in the mapping or in the daemon binding.
Also, it might help to know something about this node - like how many
sockets, cores/socket.
Okay. I added -display-devel-map, which tells you the socket/core
information you're looking for. Beyond that, I don't know how to read
the output
