Mmm, I think there's one more thing that is actually more precise in some way: "the CPUs that we don't provide topology objects for": some OSes don't expose unauthorized CPUs even if they are online. It would thus also include CPUs which have explicitly been ignored because HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_WHOLE_SYSTEM is not set. I think it can be useful to provide the cpuset of allowed cpus. One could imagine a tool that negociates with the administrator tools which cpus to be added/removed from the allowed set, knowing the whole topology and which CPUs are allowed would be useful. Maybe powering up/down could be involved too, thus the offline mask too. The current binding is already available from hwloc_get_cpubind. Actually, that gives me the idea that it'd be probably nice to somehow show that in the graphical lstopo :) Samuel
