hwlocality_object_sets - Object Sets (hwloc_cpuset_t and hwloc_nodeset_t)
Contents
Detailed Description
Hwloc uses bitmaps to represent two distinct kinds of object sets: CPU sets (hwloc_cpuset_t) and NUMA
node sets (hwloc_nodeset_t). These types are both typedefs to a common back end type (hwloc_bitmap_t),
and therefore all the hwloc bitmap functions are applicable to both hwloc_cpuset_t and hwloc_nodeset_t
(see ThebitmapAPI).
The rationale for having two different types is that even though the actions one wants to perform on
these types are the same (e.g., enable and disable individual items in the set/mask), they're used in
very different contexts: one for specifying which processors to use and one for specifying which NUMA
nodes to use. Hence, the name difference is really just to reflect the intent of where the type is used.

A CPU set is a bitmap whose bits are set according to CPU physical OS indexes. It may be consulted and
modified with the bitmap API as any hwloc_bitmap_t (see hwloc/bitmap.h).
Each bit may be converted into a PU object using hwloc_get_pu_obj_by_os_index().
typedefhwloc_bitmap_thwloc_nodeset_t
A node set is a bitmap whose bits are set according to NUMA memory node physical OS indexes. It may be
consulted and modified with the bitmap API as any hwloc_bitmap_t (see hwloc/bitmap.h). Each bit may be
converted into a NUMA node object using hwloc_get_numanode_obj_by_os_index().
When binding memory on a system without any NUMA node, the single main memory bank is considered as NUMA
node #0.
