Hello

2.6.0rc2 is out. The main change since rc1 is the addition of Windows CMake
builds (under contrib/windows-cmake/). There are also some additional minor
fixes. The final 2.6.0 is expected in a couple days or early next week.

hwloc (Hardware Locality) 2.6.0rc1 is now available for download.

        https://www.open-mpi.org/software/hwloc/v2.6/

v2.6.0 is a small release that improves existing support
for hybrid CPUs, AMD GPUs, Linux memory binding, etc.

The following is a summary of the changes since v2.5.0.

Version 2.6.0
-------------
* Backends
   + Expose two cpukinds for energy-efficient cores (icestorm) and
     high-performance cores (firestorm) on Apple M1 on Mac OS X.
   + Use sysfs CPU "capacity" to rank hybrid cores by efficiency
     on Linux when available (mostly on recent ARM platforms for now).
   + Improve HWLOC_MEMBIND_BIND (without the STRICT flag) on Linux kernel
     >= 5.15: If more than one node is given, the kernel may now use all
     of them instead of only the first one before falling back to others.
   + Expose cache os_index when available on Linux, it may be needed
     when using resctrl to configure cache partitioning, memory bandwidth
     monitoring, etc.
   + Add a "XGMIHops" distances matrix in the RSMI backend for AMD GPU
     interconnected through XGMI links.
   + Expose AMD GPU memory information (VRAM and GTT) in the RSMI backend.
   + Add OS devices such as "bxi0" for Atos/Bull BXI HCAs on Linux.
* Tools
   + lstopo has a better placement algorithm with respect to I/O
     objects, see --children-order in the manpage for details.
   + hwloc-annotate may now change object subtypes and cache or memory
     sizes.
* Build
   + Allow to specify the ROCm installation for building the RSMI backend:
     - Use a custom installation path if specified with --with-rocm=<dir>.
     - Use /opt/rocm-<version> if specified with --with-rocm-version=<version>
       or the ROCM_VERSION environment variable.
     - Try /opt/rocm if it exists.
     - See "How do I enable ROCm SMI and select which version to use?"
       in the FAQ for details.
* Documentation
   + Add FAQ entry "How do I create a custom heterogeneous and
      asymmetric topology?"
