As an aside, I would guess most people know this tool, but if you don't install  and have a close look at the hardware layout of your systems:

http://www.open-mpi.org/projects/hwloc/

Install the hwloc package and run 'lstopo' to look at the system topology. Also can show where your IO and graphics cards are.

numactl --hardware   and  watch numastat are your friends also.
