> Ian, yes please move the comments on SystemTopology and sorry for
hijacking your ticket!
No problem - you were not the first person to raise the issue of
activating SystemTopology automatically. I am not a proponent of that
course of action (it cannot handle the machine-dependent case of socket
affinity correctly, as this must be done before MPI_Init, and the core
affinity is balanced automatically by the OS, giving a suboptimal but not
terrible performance, and it is confusing when more than one simulation
runs on a node), so if someone thinks it is a good idea, please create a
ticket and include why you think this should be done.
