Our architecture has blades with two Nehalems on them, and the blades are connected together in a CC-NUMA fashion. Each Nehalem shows up as a Node and the blades show up as Miscs. I plan to use hwloc to facilitate different patterns for striding the placement of processes.
In one pattern I might want to place processes on all the Cores in a Misc and then move to the next Misc. A topology tree that looks like System -> Misc -> Core makes that easy. Having Nodes in there just adds unneeded complexity. Feel free to come up with a cleaner patch. :) Samuel Thibault wrote: > Michael Raymond, le Fri 20 Nov 2009 08:18:53 -0600, a écrit : >> It looks like I spoke too soon on the fix.
