Re: [hwloc-devel] towards PLPA-like API in 1.0

2009-11-11 Thread Brice Goglin
I just pushed the PLPA stuff to trunk. One problem we have is that we cannot the binding-capability in the PLPA-interface. The reason is that PLPA wants to bind a thread given by a pid (ie do sched_setaffinity). hwloc only has the ability to bind the current thread, or to bind an entire process giv

Another way to go is in hwloc_plpa_sched_setaffinity put in #ifdef HWLOC_LINUX_SYS some code that calls the internal hwloc_linux_set_tid_cpubind (with a strong comment that nobody else should call it), so that - existing linux plpa users can have the same behavior, but we can document here that
