Not for all kinds of memory bindings. For now, nothing that has been commited does that, it's only the remaining TODOs. The bindings in question are policy binding, i.e. not binding some given area or explicitly allocating some given size. > + Add a flag such as HWLOC_MEMBIND_EVEN_IF_FAR_FROM_PROCESS The length of the word tells me that won't be convenient :) > so that the user can explicitly refuse memory binding if it may break > process binding > + Drop hwloc_set_membind on these OSes and add a > hwloc_set_cpumembind() to bind both That's the solution I prefer most as it directly maps to existing OS practice > + Make both process and memory binding do nothing if the STRICT flag > is given.
