Detailed Description

Be sure to see the figure in Terms and Definitions that shows a complete topology tree, including depths, child/sibling/cousin relationships, and an example of an asymmetric topology where one package has fewer caches than its peers.

Function Documentation

hwloc_get_ancestor_obj_by_depth()

static hwloc_obj_t hwloc_get_ancestor_obj_by_depth ( hwloc_topology_t  topology, int  depth, hwloc_obj_t  obj  )

inlinestatic

Returns the ancestor object of obj at depth depth.

Note

depth should not be the depth of PU or NUMA objects since they are ancestors of no objects (except Misc or I/O). This function rather expects an intermediate level depth, such as the depth of Packages, Cores, or Caches.

hwloc_get_ancestor_obj_by_type()

static hwloc_obj_t hwloc_get_ancestor_obj_by_type ( hwloc_topology_t  topology, hwloc_obj_type_t  type, hwloc_obj_t  obj  )

inlinestatic

Returns the ancestor object of obj with type type.

Note

type should not be HWLOC_OBJ_PU or HWLOC_OBJ_NUMANODE since these objects are ancestors of no objects (except Misc or I/O). This function rather expects an intermediate object type, such as HWLOC_OBJ_PACKAGE, HWLOC_OBJ_CORE, etc.

hwloc_get_common_ancestor_obj()

static hwloc_obj_t hwloc_get_common_ancestor_obj ( hwloc_topology_t  topology, hwloc_obj_t  obj1, hwloc_obj_t  obj2  )

inlinestatic

Returns the common parent object to objects obj1 and obj2.

hwloc_get_next_child()

static hwloc_obj_t hwloc_get_next_child ( hwloc_topology_t  topology, hwloc_obj_t  parent, hwloc_obj_t  prev  )

inlinestatic

Return the next child.

Return the next child among the normal children list, then among the memory children list, then among the I/O children list, then among the Misc children list.

If prev is NULL, return the first child.

Return NULL when there is no next child.

hwloc_obj_is_in_subtree()

static int hwloc_obj_is_in_subtree ( hwloc_topology_t  topology, hwloc_obj_t  obj, hwloc_obj_t  subtree_root  )

inlinestatic

Returns true if obj is inside the subtree beginning with ancestor object subtree_root.

Note

This function cannot work if obj and subtree_root objects do not have CPU sets (I/O or Misc objects).
