Participant : Brice Goglin.
-
Netloc Locality (NetLoc ) is a library that extends hwloc to network topology information by assembling hwloc knowledge of server internals within graphs of inter-node fabrics such as Ethernet or Infiniband.
-
NetLoc targets the same challenges as hwloc but focuses on a wider spectrum by enabling cluster-wide solutions such process placement [21] .
-
NetLoc is developed in collaboration with University of Wisconsin in LaCrosse and Cisco, within the Open MPI project.
-
NetLoc is composed of 15 000 lines of C. It was recently merged in the hwloc repository was better integration.
