Re: [hwloc-users] NUMA, io and miscellaneous object depths

Good point. In theory, that's possible because we only look at cpusets (NUMA nodes have cpusets, I/O don't). So the name of the function still matches its behavior. However it won't happen in practice with the current code because I/O are always attached to CPU objects. But it may change in the

A follow up question, can the call to hwloc_get_non_io_ancestor_obj() return a numa object? > On Mar 14, 2018, at 3:09 PM, Madhu, Kavitha Tiptur wrote: > > Hi > This function was used to query depth of hardware objects of a certain type > to bind processes to objects at the

Re: [hwloc-users] NUMA, io and miscellaneous object depths

Hi This function was used to query depth of hardware objects of a certain type to bind processes to objects at the depth or above in Hydra previously. As you pointed out, the functionality makes no sense with NUMA/IO objects possibly being at different depths or for objects. > On Mar 14, 2018,

Re: [hwloc-users] NUMA, io and miscellaneous object depths

Hello I can fix the documentation to say that the function always suceeds and returns the virtual depth for NUMA/IO/Misc. I don't understand your third sentence. If by "actual depth", you mean the depth of a (normal) parent where NUMA are attached (for instance the depth of Package if NUMAs are

[hwloc-users] NUMA, io and miscellaneous object depths

Hello folks, The function hwloc_get_type_or_above_depth() is supposed to return the depth of objects of type “type" or above. It internally calls hwloc_get_type_depth which returns virtual depths to NUMA, IO and misc objects. In order to retrieve the actual depth of these objects, one needs to
