This is not what I need. The cpu can run 4 threads per core, so "--bind-to core" results in one process occupying 4 logical cores.

I want one process to occupy 2 logical cores, so two processes sharing a physical core.

I guess there is a way to do that by playing with mapping. I just want to know if this is a bug in mpirun, or this feature for interacting with slurm was never implemented.

You just need to tell mpirun that you want your procs to be bound to cores, not socket (which is the default).

Add "--bind-to core" to your mpirun cmd line

Yes they are. This is an interactive job from

salloc -N 1 --ntasks-per-node=64 --cpus-per-task=2 --gpus-per-node=4 --gpu-mps --time=24:00:00

Was that run in the same batch job? If not, the data is useless.
