Re: [hwloc-users] linkspeed in hwloc_obj_attr_u::hwloc_pcidev_attr_s struct while traversing topology

Thanks I could get the linkspeed when i tried with root user. But is there no other way? And what is the reason behind this limitation? Thanks & Regards, Tejaswi K On 13-Oct-2017 2:30 PM, "Samuel Thibault" wrote: Hello, TEJASWI k, on ven. 13 oct. 2017 14:23:00 +0530,
