Actually it's probably not just Debian (which doesn't have patches for that part of glibc), but mere newer versions of glibc. > On the other hand, we think that the idea of a library is fantastic and it > would be very interesting that hwloc could use it.

We are mostly interested in whatever provides machine topology, i.e. e.g. memory and cache sharing. Cache size would be nice too. We do not (yet!) have use for plain memory bandwidth. > If you are only interested in the cache size and sharing I could > create a first version only with these benchmarks to provide you the > library sooner.

Well, ideally (i.e. the easiest way to integrate into hwloc) such library would for instance provide a way to iterate over all caches and for each of them get its size and cpus using it. Samuel
