I could be wrong but my reading of the code for libcpuset indicates it's primarily about creating (nestable) groups of CPUS for dealing with process affinity. It considers threads lightly, and mostly to work around a in kernel bug to do with set allocation. Libtopology's focus is discovery of CPU topology. It will export information about socket/package, core and thread configuration, along with (numa) memory placement. libtopology is "destined" to be used by tools such as taskset and numactl for "optimum" placement of CPU resources. for example "run 4 copies of $this on the "best" only on primary threads". To the best of my knowledge this isn't available in any other similar library. Certainly there is overlap with PLPA and cpuset but it is not complete and the libraries can be used to complement each other. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
