run_mkl_igemm_ia.sh : numa error: node argument 1 is out of range

[WilliamTambellini]

On ubuntu 16.04, when running ~/repos/DeepBench/code/intel/gemm/run_mkl_igemm_ia.sh on a single cpu machine (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz) :

IGEMM benchmark

GEMM_S8U8S32 -

libnuma: node argument 1 is out of range

<1> is invalid usage: numactl [--all | -a] [--interleave= | -i ] [--preferred= | -p ] [--physcpubind= | -C ] [--cpunodebind= | -N ] [--membind= | -m ] [--localalloc | -l] command args ... numactl [--show | -s] numactl [--hardware | -H] numactl [--length | -l ] [--offset | -o ] [--shmmode | -M ] [--strict | -t] [--shmid | -I ] --shm | -S [--shmid | -I ] --file | -f [--huge | -u] [--touch | -T] memory policy | --dump | -d | --dump-nodes | -D < nodes > is a comma delimited list of node numbers or A-B ranges or all. Instead of a number a node can also be: netdev:DEV the node connected to network device DEV file:PATH the node the block device of path is connected to ip:HOST the node of the network device host routes through block:PATH the node of block device path pci:[seg:]bus:dev[:func] The node of a PCI device Modifying the script to target node 0 seems to allow to run : numactl -m 0 ./ibench_s8u8s32 Why is node 1 hard coded in the script ?

Hi @sharannarang would you know why ?

run_mkl_igemm_ia.sh - this scripts targets Xeon Phi machine with MCDRAM in flat mode, in that case MCDRAM is recognized as separate numa node and has index "1".
