Hi, I've got a problem and a question regarding hwloc_alloc_membind (I'm using hwloc V 1.4):
1. I want to allocate memory near a particular CPU by the call hwloc_alloc_membind(topology, len, cpuset, HWLOC_MEMBIND_BIND, HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT). I tried this on two Linux machines (single-core, Kernel 2.6.35 and 48-core NUMA, Kernel 3.0.0), but on both machines the call fails (it works without HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT). Any ideas what's going wrong? What surprises me is that the result of the call to hwloc_fix_membind_cpuset in line 534 of bind.c is negated, even though hwloc_fix_membind_cpuset returns 0 on success. Might this be a bug? 2. In another use case I want to allocate memory using the first-touch policy (HWLOC_MEMBIND_FIRSTTOUCH). Does the cpuset passed to hwloc_alloc_membind have any meaning in this case, since the memory is not immediately bound to a node? What cpuset should be passed? Thank you very much in advance for your help. Kind regards Karl
