Think carefully about what sort of problems you want to solve, e.g.
parallel computation or task farming?
If the former, then are the communications latency-bound or bandwidth-bound? Are collective communications important? Will you need full switching for remote comms, or just nearest-neighbour?
CPU-bound or memory-bound or IO-bound?

These factors are not necessarily mutually exclusive and Inevitably there are trade-offs, but one size does not fit all.

What does high performance computing mean?

Sorry, I am not really from a computer science background. But from the subject of it, does it mean something like multi processor programming? distributed computing? like using erlang? Sound like it, which excite me. I just had a 3 day crash course in erlang and "Cocurrency oriented programming"... (7 Replies)

NAME
hwloc-ps - List currently-running processes that are bound. SYNOPSIS
hwloc-ps [options] OPTIONS
-a list all processes, even those that are not bound to any specific part of the machine. -p --physical report OS/physical indexes instead of logical indexes -l --logical report logical indexes instead of physical/OS indexes (default) -c --cpuset show process bindings as cpusets instead of objects. --whole-system Do not consider administration limitations. DESCRIPTION
By default, hwloc-ps lists only those currently-running processes that are bound; it displays their their identifier, command-line and binding. The binding may be reported as objects or cpusets. By default, process bindings are restricted to the currently available topol- ogy. If some processes are bound to processors that are not available to the current process, they are ignored unless --whole-system is given. The output is a plain list. If you wish to annotate the hierarchical topology with processes so as to see how they are actual dis- tributed on the machine, you might want to use lstopo --ps instead (which also only shows processes that are bound). The -a switch can be used to show all processes, if desired. SEE ALSO
