Good point! Thanks!

hwloc-calc --physical proc:1 --nodelist is another useful hint!
It's much better than this piece of code:-)
======================================================
lstopo --physical --cpuset - |
grep -B${GREPLINES} "PU p#1\b" |
grep NUMANode |
tail -1 |
perl -nle "print for m/NUMANode p#([0-9]*)/g"
======================================================
I need to get NUMAnode since I'm comparing numactl and taskset commands.

I know. I use Socket and Core only as debugging information.

It sounds easy. I have already checked-out the source code of hwloc utils. API
seems to be simple and clean, very easy to use. I will consider to write a
small utility instead of chain of sed and grep.
Thanks a lot!
