The Hardware Locality (hwloc) team is pleased to announce the release of v1.6.2:
http://www.open-mpi.org/projects/hwloc/ v1.6.2 is a bug fix release which addresses all known bugs in the v1.6 serie and improves a couple minor points. The main reason for this release is to fix a license issue. The GPL license of libpci/pciutils taints hwloc whenever you link with it (making hwloc *not BSD* anymore). We now use libpciaccess (from X.org) by default instead of libpci. See the Installation section in the documentation for details. The following is a summary of the changes since v1.6.1: * Use libpciaccess instead of pciutils/libpci by default for I/O discovery. pciutils/libpci is only used if --enable-libpci is given to configure because its GPL license may taint hwloc. See the Installation section in the documentation for details. * Fix get_cpubind on Solaris when bound to a single PU with processor_bind(). Thanks to Eugene Loh for reporting the problem and providing a patch. We will release v1.5.2rc1, v1.4.3rc1 and v1.3.3rc1 very soon to address the license issue whenever somebody cannot upgrade to v1.6.2. -- Brice
