Description : The Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) software package provides
: a portable abstraction (across OS, versions, architectures, ...)
: of the hierarchical topology of modern architectures, including
: NUMA memory nodes, shared caches, processor sockets, processor cores
: and processing units (logical processors or "threads"). It also gathers
: various system attributes such as cache and memory information. It primarily
: aims at helping applications with gathering information about modern
: computing hardware so as to exploit it accordingly and efficiently.
:
: hwloc may display the topology in multiple convenient formats.
: It also offers a powerful programming interface (C API) to gather information
: about the hardware, bind processes, and much more.
