I’m very pleased to announce that we just released Hardware Locality (hwloc) version 1.1. Woo hoo!
There’s bunches of new stuff in hwloc 1.1:
- A memory binding interface is the Big New Feature. It’s available in both the C API and via command line options to tools such as hwloc-bind.
- We improved lotopo’s logical vs. physical ID numbering. Logical numbers are now all prefixed with “L#”; physical numbers are prefixed with “P#”. That’s that, then.
- “cpusets” are now “bitmaps”, and now have no maximum size; they’re dynamically allocated (especially for machines with huge core counts).
- Arbitrary key=value caching is available on all objects.
…more after the break.
