HWLOC-GATHER-TOPOLOGY(1) hwloc HWLOC-GATHER-TOPOLOGY(1)NAMEhwloc-gather-topology - Saves the relevant Linux topology files and the lstopo output for later (possibly offline) usage.SYNOPSIShwloc-gather-topology [options] <path>OPTIONS-h --help display help message and exitDESCRIPTIONhwloc-gather-topology saves all the relevant topology files into an archive (<path>.tar.bz2) and the lstopo output (<path>.output). The utility for example stores the /proc/cpuinfo file and the entire /sys/devices/system/node/ directory tree. These files can be used later to explore the machine topology offline. Once the tarball has been extracted, it may for instance be given to some hwloc command-line utilities through their --input option. It is also possible to override the default topology that the hwloc library will read by setting the extracted path in the HWLOC_FSROOT environment variable. Both archive and lstopo output may also be submitted to hwloc developers to debug issues remotely. hwloc-gather-topology is a Linux specific tool, it is not installed on other operating systems. NOTE: It is highly recommended that you read the hwloc(7) overview page before reading this man page.EXAMPLESTo store topology information to be used later (possibly on a different host) please run: hwloc-gather-topology /tmp/myhost It will store all relevant topology files in the /tmp/myhost.tar.bz2 archive and the lstopo output in the /tmp/myhost.output file. These files can be transferred on another host for later/offline analysis and/or as the input to various hwloc utilities. To use these data with hwloc utilities you have to unpack myhost.tar.bz2 archive first: tar jxvf /tmp/myhost.tar.bz2 A new directory named myhost now contains all topology files. Then you ask various hwloc utilities to use this topology instead of the one of the real machine by passing --input myhost. To display the topology just run: lstopo --input ./myhost It is not necessary that the topology is extracted in the current directory, absolute or relative paths are also supported: lstopo --input /path/to/remote/host/extracted/topology/ To see how hwloc would distribute 8 parallel jobs on the original host: hwloc-distrib --input myhost --single 8 To get the corresponding physical indexes in the previous command: hwloc-calc --input myhost --po --li --proclist $(hwloc-distrib --input myhost --single 8) Any program may actually override the default topology with a given archived one even if it does not have a --input option. The HWLOC_FSROOT environment variable should be used to do so: HWLOC_FSROOT=myhost hwloc-calc --po --li --proclist $(hwloc-distrib --single 8) All these commands will produce the same output as if executed directly on the host on which the topology information was originally gath- ered by the hwloc-gather-topology script.RETURN VALUEUpon successful execution, hwloc-gather-topology will exit with the code 0. hwloc-gather-topology will return nonzero exit status if any kind of error occurs, such as (but not limited to) failure to create the ar- chive or output file.SEE ALSOhwloc(7), lstopo(1), hwloc-calc(1), hwloc-distrib(1) 1.4.1 Feb 27, 2012 HWLOC-GATHER-TOPOLOGY(1)
