Interesting, so it's not correctly detecting the topology as BG/Q is
16 compute cores, each with 4 hardware threads.  Instead it's
detecting all 64 hardware threads and treating them as cores if I'm
reading that
right.

I was puzzled by the OS info output too, it says:

Machine#0(Backend=Linux OSName=CNK
OSRelease=2.6.32-220.el6.bgq110_20120104.ppc64 OSVersion=1
HostName=R00-ID-J04.i2b.cetus Architecture=) cpuset 0xf...f complete
0xffffffff,0xffffffff online 0xf...f allowed 0xf...f nodeset 0x0
completeN 0x0 allowedN 0xf...f

However, looking at the (open) source code for the CNK [1] (at least
for BG/P) the uname info seems to be derived from the I/O nodes when
its running in CIOD mode, so I suspect that's what's happening here
(looks like a RHEL6 derived kernel from that).

For those unfamiliar with BlueGene (at least P, and I suspect the same
is true for Q), this is because the CNK doesn't implement fork() or
execve(), they're designed to start your code and just keep running it
until it dies.
