The Hardware Locality (hwloc) team is pleased to announce the release of v1.11.3:
http://www.open-mpi.org/projects/hwloc/ v1.11.3 addresses all known bugs in the v1.11 series. It also brings many small improvements (those that shouldn't wait until the future 2.0 release is ready). The following is a summary of the changes since v1.11.2: * Bug fixes + Fix a memory leak on Linux S/390 hosts with books. + Fix /proc/mounts parsing on Linux by using mntent.h. Thanks to Nathan Hjelm for reporting the issue. + Fix a x86 infinite loop on VMware due to the x2APIC feature being advertised without actually being fully supported. Thanks to Jianjun Wen for reporting the problem and testing the patch. + Fix the return value of hwloc_alloc() on mmap() failure. Thanks to Hugo Brunie for reporting the issue. + Fix the return value of command-line tools in some error cases. + Do not break individual thread bindings during x86 backend discovery in a multithreaded process. Thanks to Farouk Mansouri for the report. + Fix hwloc-bind --membind for CPU-less NUMA nodes. + Fix some corner cases in the XML export/import of application userdata. * API Improvements + Add HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET flag so that membind() functions accept either cpusets or nodesets. + Add hwloc_get_area_memlocation() to check where pages are actually allocated. Only implemented on Linux for now. - There's no _nodeset() variant, but the new flag HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is supported. + Make hwloc_obj_type_sscanf() parse back everything that may be outputted by hwloc_obj_type_snprintf(). * Detection Improvements + Allow the x86 backend to add missing cache levels, so that it completes what the Solaris backend lacks. Thanks to Ryan Zezeski for reporting the issue. + Do not filter-out FibreChannel PCI adapters by default anymore. Thanks to Matt Muggeridge for the report. + Add support for CUDA compute capability 6.x. * Tools + Add --support to hwloc-info to list supported features, just like with hwloc_topology_get_support(). - Also add --objects and --topology to explicitly switch between the default modes. + Add --tid to let hwloc-bind operate on individual threads on Linux. + Add --nodeset to let hwloc-bind report memory binding as NUMA node sets. + hwloc-annotate and lstopo don't drop application userdata from XMLs anymore. - Add --cu to hwloc-annotate to drop these application userdata. + Make the hwloc-dump-hwdata dump directory configurable through configure options such as --runstatedir or --localstatedir. * Misc Improvements + Add systemd service template contrib/systemd/hwloc-dump-hwdata.service for launching hwloc-dump-hwdata at boot on Linux. Thanks to Grzegorz Andrejczuk. + Add HWLOC_PLUGINS_BLACKLIST environment variable to prevent some plugins from being loaded. Thanks to Alexandre Denis for the suggestion. + Small improvements for various Windows build systems, thanks to Jonathan L Peyton and Marco Atzeri. Changes since rc1 are minor. -- Brice
