That's because they are on different sockets. These are physical IDs (not logical IDs), and are thus not garanteed to be unique. > 2) logical Core id and Physical core id maybe differents.

What matters is that you take the proper ID. Physical IDs will in general never bring you any proximity indication. What you want is logical IDs, which hwloc takes care of meaning proximity. Using adjacent logical IDs (be it for core or threads) will bring you adjacent cores/threads. > 3) Binding a thread on a core, what's the difference between hwloc_set_cpubind > () and hwloc_set_thread_cpubind()?

It is not a (Linux-specific) tid. If what you have is a (Linux-specific) tid, use the Linux-specific function, hwloc_linux_set_tid_cpubind. Samuel
