I guess 95% of the time you run it by hand you won't have a cpuset so
it'll be the same anyway and when you do have a cpuset then it's
probably what you are interested in.
Could I add a feature request that you can query the topology for
other
arbitrary processes in the system? I've taken a look at the source
and
it appears I could add this for Linux easily enough (I assume I could
just change /proc/self/ in src/topology-linux.c:1005?) but doing the
same for other operating systems isn't something I could do.
It would be a two minute job to add this to padb which would allow you
to see the topology of all processes within a parallel job at run-time
without needing to interrupt the job.
