 We can change the threads used by !OmpSs-2 with the Linux command `taskset`.  For example, the command to run this binary with 24 threads interleaved between the two sockets would be:

+== Creating a Dependency Graph ==
+
+Let's continue with the same example used above and create a dependency graph using only 12 threads of one socket (e.g. the second), which demonstrated to be the affinity giving the best results. Furthermore, we are not longer interested in running 100 iterations (nor using a large number of elements) to benchmark this example and hence only one iteration will suffice to generate a complete graph of this application. Run the following command:
+
+`NANOS6=graph taskset -c 12-23 ./03.multisaxpy_task 196608 8192 1`
+
+This command can take some time.  Once it has finished it should have created a script with the name ''graph-XXXXX-YYYYYYYYY-script.sh'' and a directory ''graph-XXXXX-YYYYYYYYY-components''.  Execute the script by typing:
+
+`bash graph-XXXXX-YYYYYYYYY-script.sh`
+
+to merge the intermediate results into a single PDF file which should look like this:

+which illustrates 24 tasks executed in parallel using 12 threads.
