Kinds of object Type

Functions
int	hwloc_obj_type_is_normal (hwloc_obj_type_t type)
int	hwloc_obj_type_is_io (hwloc_obj_type_t type)
int	hwloc_obj_type_is_memory (hwloc_obj_type_t type)
int	hwloc_obj_type_is_cache (hwloc_obj_type_t type)
int	hwloc_obj_type_is_dcache (hwloc_obj_type_t type)
int	hwloc_obj_type_is_icache (hwloc_obj_type_t type)

Detailed Description

Each object type is either Normal (i.e. hwloc_obj_type_is_normal() returns 1), or Memory (i.e. hwloc_obj_type_is_memory() returns 1) or I/O (i.e. hwloc_obj_type_is_io() returns 1) or Misc (i.e. equal to HWLOC_OBJ_MISC). It cannot be of more than one of these kinds.

Function Documentation

hwloc_obj_type_is_cache()

int hwloc_obj_type_is_cache

(

hwloc_obj_type_t

type

)

Check whether an object type is a Cache (Data, Unified or Instruction).

Returns

1 if an object of type type is a Cache, 0 otherwise.

hwloc_obj_type_is_dcache()

int hwloc_obj_type_is_dcache

(

hwloc_obj_type_t

type

)

Check whether an object type is a Data or Unified Cache.

Returns

1 if an object of type type is a Data or Unified Cache, 0 otherwise.

hwloc_obj_type_is_icache()

int hwloc_obj_type_is_icache

(

hwloc_obj_type_t

type

)

Check whether an object type is a Instruction Cache,.

Returns

1 if an object of type type is a Instruction Cache, 0 otherwise.

hwloc_obj_type_is_io()

int hwloc_obj_type_is_io

(

hwloc_obj_type_t

type

)

Check whether an object type is I/O.

I/O objects are objects attached to their parents in the I/O children list. This current includes Bridges, PCI and OS devices.

Returns

1 if an object of type type is a I/O object, 0 otherwise.

hwloc_obj_type_is_memory()

int hwloc_obj_type_is_memory

(

hwloc_obj_type_t

type

)

Check whether an object type is Memory.

Memory objects are objects attached to their parents in the Memory children list. This current only includes NUMA nodes.

Returns

1 if an object of type type is a Memory object, 0 otherwise.

hwloc_obj_type_is_normal()

int hwloc_obj_type_is_normal

(

hwloc_obj_type_t

type

)

Check whether an object type is Normal.

Normal objects are objects of the main CPU hierarchy (Machine, Package, Core, PU, CPU caches, etc.), but they are not NUMA nodes, I/O devices or Misc objects.

They are attached to parent as Normal children, not as Memory, I/O or Misc children.

Returns

1 if an object of type type is a Normal object, 0 otherwise.
