That's correct.

Aside from the idea of saving the topology to a XML file before running
the job, you could also:
* rank 0 load the topology as usual
* rank 0 saves it to a XML buffer (hwloc_topology_export_xmlbuffer())
then MPI_Broadcast() to other ranks
* those ranks would just load a hwloc topology from the
Hey Jeff,
It's not in OpenMPI or MPICH :(. It's a custom library which is not MPI aware
making it difficult to share the topology query. Ill see if we can get a stand
alone piece of code.
From earlier posts it sounds like OpenMPI queries once per physical node so
probably won't have this
