# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| hwloc: hwloc (Portable Hardware Locality) hwloc: hwloc: The Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) software package provides a hwloc: portable abstraction (across OS, versions, architectures, ...) of the hwloc: hierarchical topology of modern architectures, including NUMA memory hwloc: nodes, sockets, shared caches, cores and simultaneous multithreading. hwloc: It also gathers various system attributes such as cache and memory hwloc: information as well as the locality of I/O devices such as network hwloc: interfaces, InfiniBand HCAs or GPUs. It primarily aims at helping hwloc: applications with gathering information about modern computing hwloc: hardware so as to exploit it accordingly and efficiently.
