Yes, it is implied but a line somewhere might help.

Thanks

Yes, one and only one, the top-level root object of the topology.

This is somehow implied by the doc of HWLOC_OBJ_MACHINE itself ("The root 
object type"), I guess I should make it even more clear there? If there's 
another place in the doc where this should be added/clarified, please let me 
know.

Hi

Thanks for the response. Could you also confirm if hwloc topology object would 
have only machine node?

Thanks,
Kavitha

Hello,

Oops, sorry, this sentence is obsolete, I am removing it from the doc right now.

We don't support the assembly of multiple machines in a single hwloc topology 
anymore. For the record, this feature was a very small corner case and it had 
important limitations (you couldn't bind things or use cpusets unless you were 
very careful about which host you were talking about), and it made the core 
hwloc code much more complex.

Thanks for the report
Brice

Hi

I have a question on topology query. The hwloc 2.0.0 documentation states that 
"Additionally it may assemble the topologies of multiple machines into a single 
one so as to let applications consult the topology of an entire fabric or 
cluster at once.”. Since “system” object type has been removed from hwloc, does 
this statement mean that multiple “machine” nodes in the topology object would 
be combined to one? I can see in function“hwloc_topology_check” that machine 
node is at depth 0 and there are no machine nodes at depth other than 0. Can 
anyone confirm this?

Thanks
Kavitha
