Ok, time to upgrade my installation. The cluster has RHEL6.1 which ships with
an older version.

I use them mostly with OpenGL ('XOpenDisplay(":0.<gpu>")' and RDMA in
Equalizer/Collage (see links in signature). Is there a straight way to
associate the GPUs with the corresponding X screen? I guess at least the path
through the Xorg PCI ID should work, but it would be nice to have that in hwloc.
We also use Cuda/OpenMPI here, but I guess this will be easier to support. I'll
look into the latest source of lstopo to see how it's done.
BTW, I recently created a library for ZeroConf GPU discovery[1], this might be
of interest for you.
Cheers,
Stefan.
