Mpich discussion group,

I would like to use hydra environment variables to bind threads to cores. I am using hydra 3.2 with mvapich2 version 2.2b_psm built with intel 15.0.

I have a simple program to print out the cpu affinity for each process which I have used to test process binding. I have included the output of this program below.

[jlow@blogin2 hybrid_hello]$ HYDRA_BINDING=socket mpirun -np 4 a.out Hello from node blogin2, core 0-15; AKA rank 3, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 0-15; AKA rank 0, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 0-15; AKA rank 2, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 0-15; AKA rank 1, thread 0 [jlow@blogin2 hybrid_hello]$ mpirun -bind-to core:2 -np 4 a.out Hello from node blogin2, core 4,5; AKA rank 2, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 6,7; AKA rank 3, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 0,1; AKA rank 0, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 2,3; AKA rank 1, thread 0 [jlow@blogin2 hybrid_hello]$ mpirun -bind-to socket -np 4 a.out Hello from node blogin2, core 8-15; AKA rank 3, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 0-7; AKA rank 0, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 0-7; AKA rank 2, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 8-15; AKA rank 1, thread 0 [jlow@blogin2 hybrid_hello]$ HYDRA_BINDING=socket mpirun -np 4 a.out Hello from node blogin2, core 0-15; AKA rank 3, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 0-15; AKA rank 1, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 0-15; AKA rank 2, thread 0 Hello from node blogin2, core 0-15; AKA rank 0, thread 0

It appears that hydra is ignoring my environmental variables. How can I use environmental variables to bind processes to cores with hydra?

Thanks,
