- update to 2.4.0:
+ Add hwloc/cpukinds.h for reporting information about hybrid CPUs.
- Use Linux cpufreq frequencies to rank cores by efficiency.
- Use x86 CPUID hybrid leaf and future Linux kernels sysfs CPU type
files to identify Intel Atom and Core cores.
- Use the Windows native EfficiencyClass to separate kinds.
+ Properly handle Linux kernel 5.10+ exposing ACPI HMAT information
with knowledge of Generic Initiators.
+ lstopo has new --cpukinds and --no-cpukinds options for showing
CPU kinds or not in textual and graphical modes respectively.
+ hwloc-calc has a new --cpukind option for filtering PUs by kind.
+ hwloc-annotate has a new cpukind command for modifying CPU kinds.
+ Fix hwloc_bitmap_nr_ulongs(), thanks to Norbert Eicker.
+ Add a documentation section about
"Topology Attributes: Distances, Memory Attributes and CPU Kinds".
+ Silence some spurious warnings in the OpenCL backend and when showing
process binding with lstopo --ps.
+ Add hwloc/memattrs.h for exposing latency/bandwidth information
between initiators (CPU sets for now) and target NUMA nodes,
typically on heterogeneous platforms.
- When available, bandwidths and latencies are read from the ACPI HMAT
table exposed by Linux kernel 5.2+.
- Attributes may also be customized to expose user-defined performance
information.
+ Add hwloc_get_local_numanode_objs() for listing NUMA nodes that are
local to some locality.
+ The new topology flag HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_IMPORT_SUPPORT causes
support arrays to be loaded from XML exported with hwloc 2.3+.
- hwloc_topology_get_support() now returns an additional "misc"
array with feature "imported_support" set when support was imported.
