#1150: Simfactory: it doesn't honor --procs when running testsuites -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: bmundim | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Comment (by bmundim):
also procs is described in http://simfactory.org/info/documentation/userguide/processterminology.html as the number of threads, which is even more confusing. We end up with the following possible mappings:
--procs --> total number of threads --procs --> number of threads per MPI task (probably not since –num- threads is described as such) --procs --> number of processes, meaning MPI tasks --procs --> number of processors, meaning CPUs --procs --> number of cores, for those thinking of a core as a computational unit (less probable though)
