Hello We have seen _many_ reports like these. But there are different kinds of errors. As far as I understand: * Julio's error is caused by the Linux kernel improperly reporting L3 cache affinities. It's specific to multi-socket 12-core processors because the kernel makes invalid assumptions

We (Georgia Tech) too have been observing this on 16-core AMD AbuDhabi machines (6378). We weren’t aware of HWLOC_COMPONENTS workaround, which seems to mitigate the issue. Before: # ./lstopo * hwloc has encountered

Well, yes and no. Yes, your cpu loads will balance better across nodes (balancing across sockets doesn’t do much for you). However, your overall application performance may be the poorest in that arrangement if your app uses a lot of communication as the layout minimizes the use of shared

Hello Ralph, Thank you for your comments. My understanding, from reading Jeff's blog on V1.5 processor affinity, is that the bindings in Example 1 balance the load better than the bindings in Example 2. Therefore I would like to obtain the bindings in Example 1, but using Open MPI 2.1.1, and
