Version 1.2.0
|
|
-------------
|
|
* Major features
|
|
+ Expose latency matrices in the API as an array of distance structures
|
|
within objects. Add several helpers to find distances.
|
|
+ Add hwloc_topology_set_distance_matrix() and environment variables
|
|
to provide a matrix of distances between a given set of objects.
|
|
+ Add hwloc_get_last_cpu_location() and hwloc_get_proc_last_cpu_location()
|
|
to retrieve the processors where a process or thread recently ran.
|
|
- Add the corresponding --get-last-cpu-location option to hwloc-bind.
|
|
+ Add hwloc_topology_restrict() to restrict an existing topology to a
|
|
given cpuset.
|
|
- Add the corresponding --restrict option to lstopo.
|
|
* Minor API updates
|
|
+ Add hwloc_bitmap_list_sscanf/snprintf/asprintf to convert between bitmaps
|
|
and strings such as 4-5,7-9,12,15-
|
|
+ hwloc_bitmap_set/clr_range() now support infinite ranges.
|
|
+ Clarify the difference between inserting Misc objects by cpuset or by
|
|
parent.

|
|
* Discovery improvements
|
|
+ x86 backend (for freebsd): add x2APIC support
|
|
+ Support standard device-tree phandle, to get better support on e.g. ARM
|
|
systems providing it.
|
|
+ Detect cache size on AIX. Thanks Christopher and IBM.
|
|
+ Improve grouping to support asymmetric topologies.
|
|
* Tools
|

|
|
consisting in the entire topology, as well as type names with depth
|
|
attributes such as L2 or Group4.
|
|
+ hwloc-calc improvements:
|
|
- Add --number-of/-N option to report the number of objects of a given
|
|
type or depth.
|
|
- -I is now equivalent to --intersect for listing the indexes of
|
|
objects of a given type or depth that intersects the input.
|
|
- Add -H to report the output as a hierarchical combination of types
|
|
and depths.
|
|
+ Add --thissystem to lstopo.
|
|

|
|
gives erroneous information.
|
|
* Do not include unistd.h and stdint.h in public headers on Windows.

* Memory binding documentation enhancements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.1.0
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* API
|
|
+ Increase HWLOC_API_VERSION to 0x00010100 so that API changes may be
|
|
detected at build-time.
|
|
+ Add a memory binding interface.
|
|
+ The cpuset API (hwloc/cpuset.h) is now deprecated. It is replaced by
|
|
the bitmap API (hwloc/bitmap.h) which offers the same features with more
|
|
generic names since it applies to CPU sets, node sets and more.
|
|
Backward compatibility with the cpuset API and ABI is still provided but
|
|
it will be removed in a future release.
|
|
Old types (hwloc_cpuset_t, ...) are still available as a way to clarify
|
|
what kind of hwloc_bitmap_t each API function manipulates.
|
|
Upgrading to the new API only requires to replace hwloc_cpuset_ function
|
|
calls with the corresponding hwloc_bitmap_ calls, with the following
|
|
renaming exceptions:
|
|
- hwloc_cpuset_cpu -> hwloc_bitmap_only
|
|
- hwloc_cpuset_all_but_cpu -> hwloc_bitmap_allbut
|
|
- hwloc_cpuset_from_string -> hwloc_bitmap_sscanf
|
|
+ Add an `infos' array in each object to store couples of info names and
|
|
values. It enables generic storage of things like the old dmi board infos
|
|
that were previously stored in machine specific attributes.
|
|
+ Add linesize cache attribute.
|
|
* Features
|
|
+ Bitmaps (and thus CPU sets and node sets) are dynamically (re-)allocated,
|
|
the maximal number of CPUs (HWLOC_NBMAXCPUS) has been removed.
|
|
+ Improve the distance-based grouping code to better support irregular
|
|
distance matrices.
|
|
+ Add support for device-tree to get cache information (useful on Power
|
|
architectures).
|
|
* Helpers
|
|
+ Add NVIDIA CUDA helpers in cuda.h and cudart.h to ease interoperability
|
|
with CUDA Runtime and Driver APIs.
|
|
+ Add Myrinet Express helper in myriexpress.h to ease interoperability.
|
|
* Tools
|
|
+ lstopo now displays physical/OS indexes by default in graphical mode
|
|
(use -l to switch back to logical indexes). The textual output still uses
|
|
logical by default (use -p to switch to physical indexes).
|
|
+ lstopo prefixes logical indexes with `L#' and physical indexes with `P#'.
|
|
Physical indexes are also printed as `P#N' instead of `phys=N' within
|
|
object attributes (in parentheses).
|
|
+ Add a legend at the bottom of the lstopo graphical output, use --no-legend
|
|
to remove it.
|
|
+ Add hwloc-ps to list process' bindings.
|
|
+ Add --membind and --mempolicy options to hwloc-bind.
|
|
+ Improve tools command-line options by adding a generic --input option
|
|
(and more) which replaces the old --xml, --synthetic and --fsys-root.
|
|
+ Cleanup lstopo output configuration by adding --output-format.
|
|
+ Add --intersect in hwloc-calc, and replace --objects with --largest.
|
|
+ Add the ability to work on standard input in hwloc-calc.
|
|
+ Add --from, --to and --at in hwloc-distrib.
|
|
+ Add taskset-specific functions and command-line tools options to
|
|
manipulate CPU set strings in the format of the taskset program.
|
|
+ Install hwloc-gather-topology.sh on Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.3
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* Fix support for Linux cpuset when emulated by a cgroup mount point.
|
|
* Remove unneeded runtime dependency on libibverbs.so in the library and
|
|
all utils programs.
|
|
* Fix hwloc_cpuset_to_linux_libnuma_ulongs in case of non-linear OS-indexes
|
|
for NUMA nodes.
|
|
* lstopo now displays physical/OS indexes by default in graphical mode
|
|
(use -l to switch back to logical indexes). The textual output still uses
|
|
logical by default (use -p to switch to physical indexes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.2
|
|
-------------
|
|
|

|
|
reporting the issue.
|
|
* Darwin 10.4 fix. Thanks to Olivier Cessenat for reporting the issue.
|

|
|
only slightly helped POWER7 machines with old Linux kernels while it
|
|
prevents recent kernels from getting the complete POWER7 topology.
|
|
* Fix hwloc_get_common_ancestor_obj().
|
|
* Remove arch-specific bits in public headers.
|
|
* Some fixes in the lstopo graphical output.
|
|
* Various man page clarifications and minor updates.

|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* Various Solaris fixes. Thanks to Yannick Martin for reporting the issue.

|
* Fix "non-native" builds on x86 platforms (e.g., when building 32
|
|
bit executables with compilers that natively build 64 bit).
|

|
|
machines). Thanks to Greg Bauer for reporting the issue.
|
|
* Various man page clarifications and minor updates.

|
|
+ Use new HWLOC_OBJ_GROUP objects instead of MISC when grouping
|
|
objects according to NUMA distances or arbitrary OS aggregation.
|
|
+ Rework memory attributes.
|
|
+ Add different cpusets in each object to specify processors that

most common cases.
|
|
+ Add hwloc_get_*cpubind() routines to retrieve the current binding
|
|
of processes and threads.
|
|
* API
|
