Excellent! I think decoupling the device from the screen or display is probably a good idea (even to my visualization domain work). When it comes to looking up particular architectural features (say, the SM capability of Tesla vs. Kepler), we can always fall back to a lookup table based upon GPUModel.
I'll try it out this weekend.

The name is the X server display name. There are string attributes in these new GL GPU OS devices (lstopo -v): GPU L#9 (Backend=GL GPUVendor="NVIDIA Corporation" GPUModel="Tesla C2050") ":0.2" 2) The gl component is now buildable as a plugin 3) Given (2), we can't expose internal GL routines in the public API. So hwloc/gl.h is just made of inline helpers as any other hwloc/foo.h. It now contains functions to convert between displays (name or port/device) and hwloc OS devices: hwloc_obj_t hwloc_gl_get_display_osdev_by_port_device(hwloc_topology_t topology, unsigned port, unsigned device) hwloc_obj_t hwloc_gl_get_display_osdev_by_name(hwloc_topology_t topology, const char *name) int hwloc_gl_get_display_by_osdev(hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_t osdev,unsigned *port, unsigned *device) If you really need the PCI device, just use osdev->parent as documented. If you need the locality, use hwloc_get_non_io_ancestor(topology, osdev)->cpuset See tests/gl.c for examples. Please review hwloc/gl.h and let me know if that works for you. I hope I used the words port/device/server/screen as expected. The last thing on my TODO list is to decide is whether we keep the "GL" name or switch to something among display/X11/X/... for filenames and function names.
