Hello Hendryk, Your processes are not bound, there may run anywhere they want. hwloc_get_cpubind() tells you where they are bound. That's why the cpuset is 0x0000f first (all the existing logical processors in the machine). You want to know where they actually run. It's different from where there are bound. The former is included in the latter. The former is a single processor, while the later may be any combination of any processors). hwloc cannot tell you where a task run. But I am looking at implementing it. I actually sent a patch to hwloc-devel about it yesterday [1]. You would just have to replace get_cpubind with get_cpuexec (or whatever the final function name is). You should note that such a function would not be guaranteed to return something true since the process may migrate to another processor in the meantime. Also note that hwloc_bitmap_singlify is usually used to "simplify" a cpuset (to avoid migration between multiple SMT for instance) before binding a task (calling set_cpubind). It's useless in your code above.
