[mvapich-discuss] Question on VIADEV_ENABLE_AFFINITY and VIADEV_USE_AFFINITY

[Matthew Koop]

Terrence,

They both work (and do the same thing), but VIADEV_ENABLE_AFFINITY has
been deprecated. We've switched all parameters over to "USE" as not to
confuse the user if the default were to change.

Thanks,

Matt
