I agree with Samuel on this. Keep things people for basic users. Without I/O devices, the topology is usually very simple, making users' code very simple too (all objects have a cpuset, all children have the same type, topology is symmetric, ...). If you enable I/O, you need to make your code much more complex, which is good, but may prevent some users from using the C API. Note that I/O is enabled by default in lstopo :) >> I also added some GPU-related OS devices by looking at DRM objects >> (card0 and controlD64 in the attached picture).

That's why only the free graphics drivers are already visible with the current code. For CUDA, we already have something similar to what we need in hwloc/cuda.h. However, this requires the cuda library. For OpenCL, there's nothing to help you translate from PCI devices into software handles in the 1.1 API iirc. > Do iWARP and RoCE devices show up, too?

The only difference is the node_type attribute. So indeed, openfabrics might be a better name. Brice
