Perhaps there is a misunderstanding: I'm saying that the implementation
shipped within StarPU may not be a so good StarPU implementation, while
Chameleon does provide a well-benchmarked StarPU implementation.

This looks like an issue in the MPI implementation.

That is expected: the first time you run StarPU it checks the machine.

That is just informational actually, we have just removed it.

That should be fine.

I however notice that you are using starpu 1.1.7.  The 1.1 branch is
very old, you should really used starpu 1.2.2 which has just been
released.
