Today's multi- and many-core systems have NUMA nodes, sockets, tiles, cores, and Symmetric Multi-Threading (SMT) which may require complicated affinity settings to optimally map processes to processors. In many-core systems with hundreds of processors, evaluating the affinity of a single process by surveying a list of processor numbers is time consuming and error prone. Comparing two or more process affinities is even more troublesome. The amask tool displays all process affinities as an easy-to-read matrix of processor-ids versus ranks and/or thread-ids, allowing researchers to quickly confirm default settings and the effect of manipulating affinity, either before or during a parallel execution (through a stand-alone executable or API, respectively).
