I guess the answer to the above question is "it depends on your code"
-- but I'd also like to hear whether there are any general performance
benefits to setting CPU affinity.  Do major schedulers support this?
Would this help with embarrassingly parallel jobs VS large MPI jobs on
manycore machines?

Thanks,
