Examples
simple example
This example shows the basic steps when using Intel MPI.
Load the necessary module
Compile your application using the mpi wrapper compilers mpicc, mpicxx and mpif90.
Run your application
thread pinning
This example shows how to run an application on 16 nodes, using 32 processes spawning 128 threads with sets of 4 threads being pinned to a single CPU socket. This will give you optimum NUMA placement of processes and memory e.g. on the the nehalem nodes of the Laki system.
Best use Intel MPI in combination with Intel compiler.
Compile your application as shown in the simple example above.
Run the application using the thread_pin_wrapper.sh script shown below.
#!/bin/bash
export KMP_AFFINITY=verbose,scatter # Intel specific environment variable
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=4
RANK=${OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK:=$PMI_RANK}
if [ $(expr $RANK % 2) = 0 ]
then
export GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=0-3
numactl --preferred=0 --cpunodebind=0 $@
else
export GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY=4-7
numactl --preferred=1 --cpunodebind=1 $@
