The Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) software package provides
a portable abstraction (across OS, versions, architectures, ...)
of the hierarchical topology of modern architectures, including
NUMA memory nodes, sockets, shared caches, cores and
simultaneous multithreading. It also gathers various system
attributes such as cache and memory information as well as the
locality of I/O devices such as network interfaces, InfiniBand
HCAs or GPUs. It primarily aims at helping applications with
gathering information about modern computing hardware so as to
exploit it accordingly and efficiently.
