Hello
Which hwloc release are you using? Before hwloc 2.0, libnuma/numactl
devel headers were required for memory binding. The end of the output of
"configure" will tell you whether memory binding is supported when
building such an old release:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hwloc optional build support status (more details can be found above):
[...]
libnuma memory support: yes
[...]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Besides, on a laptop, memory binding is usually useless on laptops
because there's a single NUMA node. All your allocation can only go to
one place, there's no need to enforce anything. Also some kernels may
have NUMA support disabled for such platforms. You need CONFIG_NUMA:
grep NUMA /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[...]
CONFIG_NUMA=y
[...]
For MPI on a laptop, you may still want to bind execution so that cache
locality is enforced. This is done with hwloc_set_cpubind(). But most
MPI implementations have easier ways to bind their ranks anyway.
