Detailed Description

       Memory binding can be done three ways:

       • explicit memory allocation thanks to hwloc_alloc_membind() and friends: the binding will have effect on
         the memory allocated by these functions.

       • implicit memory binding through binding policy: hwloc_set_membind() and friends only define the current
         policy of the process, which will be applied to the subsequent calls to malloc() and friends.

       • migration  of  existing  memory  ranges,  thanks  to  hwloc_set_area_membind()  and friends, which move
         already-allocated data.

       Not all operating systems support all three ways. hwloc_topology_get_support() may be used to query about
       the actual memory binding support in the currently used operating system.

       When the requested binding operation is not available and the HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT flag was  passed,  the
       function  returns  -1.  errno  will be set to ENOSYS when the system does support the specified action or
       policy (e.g., some systems only allow binding memory on a per-thread basis, whereas  other  systems  only
       allow binding memory for all threads in a process). errno will be set to EXDEV when the requested set can
       not be enforced (e.g., some systems only allow binding memory to a single NUMA node).

       If  HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT was not passed, the function may fail as well, or the operating system may use a
       slightly different operation (with side-effects, smaller binding set, etc.) when the requested  operation
       is not exactly supported.

       The  most  portable  form  that  should  be preferred over the others whenever possible is as follows. It
       allocates some memory hopefully bound to the specified set. To do so, hwloc will possibly have to  change
       the  current  memory binding policy in order to actually get the memory bound, if the OS does not provide
       any other way to simply allocate bound memory without changing the policy for all  allocations.  That  is
       the difference with hwloc_alloc_membind(), which will never change the current memory binding policy.

       hwloc_alloc_membind_policy(topology, size, set,
                                  HWLOC_MEMBIND_BIND, 0);

       Each hwloc memory binding function is available in two forms: one that takes a bitmap argument (a CPU set
       by  default, or a NUMA memory node set if the flag HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is specified), and another one
       (whose name ends with _nodeset) that always takes a NUMA memory node set. See Object Sets (hwloc_cpuset_t
       and hwloc_nodeset_t) and The bitmap API for a discussion of CPU sets and NUMA memory  node  sets.  It  is
       also   possible   to   convert   between   CPU  set  and  node  set  using  hwloc_cpuset_to_nodeset()  or
       hwloc_cpuset_from_nodeset().

       Memory binding by CPU set cannot work for CPU-less NUMA memory nodes. Binding by nodeset should therefore
       be preferred whenever possible.

           Some example codes are available under doc/examples/ in the source tree.

       Note:
           On some operating systems, memory binding affects the CPU binding; see HWLOC_MEMBIND_NOCPUBIND

Enumeration Type Documentation

   enum hwloc_membind_flags_t
       Memory binding flags. These flags can be used to refine the binding policy. All flags  can  be  logically
       OR'ed  together with the exception of HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS and HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD; these two flags are
       mutually exclusive.

       Not all systems support all kinds of binding. hwloc_topology_get_support() may be used to query about the
       actual memory binding support in the currently used operating  system.  See  the  'Detailed  Description'
       section of Memory binding for a description of errors that can occur.

       Enumerator

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS
              Set  policy  for  all  threads  of  the  specified  (possibly multithreaded) process. This flag is
              mutually exclusive with HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD
              Set policy for a specific thread of the current process. This  flag  is  mutually  exclusive  with
              HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT
              Request  strict binding from the OS. The function will fail if the binding can not be guaranteed /
              completely enforced.

       This flag has slightly different meanings depending on which function it is used with.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_MIGRATE
              Migrate existing allocated memory. If the memory cannot be migrated and  the  HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT
              flag is passed, an error will be returned.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_NOCPUBIND
              Avoid  any  effect  on  CPU  binding.  On  some  operating systems, some underlying memory binding
              functions also bind the application to the corresponding CPU(s). Using this flag will cause  hwloc
              to  avoid using OS functions that could potentially affect CPU bindings. Note, however, that using
              NOCPUBIND may reduce hwloc's overall memory binding support. Specifically: some of hwloc's  memory
              binding functions may fail with errno set to ENOSYS when used with NOCPUBIND.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET
              Consider  the  bitmap  argument  as  a  nodeset.  Functions whose name ends with _nodeset() take a
              nodeset argument. Other functions take a bitmap argument that is considered a nodeset if this flag
              is given, or a cpuset otherwise.

       Memory binding by CPU set cannot work for CPU-less NUMA memory nodes. Binding by nodeset should therefore
       be preferred whenever possible.

   enum hwloc_membind_policy_t
       Memory binding policy. These constants can be used to choose the binding policy. Only one policy  can  be
       used at a time (i.e., the values cannot be OR'ed together).

       Not all systems support all kinds of binding. hwloc_topology_get_support() may be used to query about the
       actual  memory  binding  policy  support  in  the  currently  used  operating  system.  See the 'Detailed
       Description' section of Memory binding for a description of errors that can occur.

       Enumerator

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_DEFAULT
              Reset the memory allocation policy to the system default. Depending on the operating system,  this
              may  correspond  to  HWLOC_MEMBIND_FIRSTTOUCH  (Linux),  or  HWLOC_MEMBIND_BIND  (AIX, HP-UX, OSF,
              Solaris, Windows). This policy is never returned by get membind functions when running  on  normal
              machines.  It  is  only returned when binding hooks are empty because the topology was loaded from
              XML, or HWLOC_THISSYSTEM=0, etc.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_FIRSTTOUCH
              Allocate memory but do not immediately bind it to a specific locality. Instead, each page  in  the
              allocation  is bound only when it is first touched. Pages are individually bound to the local NUMA
              node of the first thread that touches it. If there is not enough memory on  the  node,  allocation
              may be done in the specified nodes before allocating on other nodes.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_BIND
              Allocate memory on the specified nodes.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_INTERLEAVE
              Allocate  memory  on the given nodes in an interleaved / round-robin manner. The precise layout of
              the memory across multiple NUMA nodes is OS/system  specific.  Interleaving  can  be  useful  when
              threads  distributed  across the specified NUMA nodes will all be accessing the whole memory range
              concurrently, since the interleave will then balance the memory references.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_REPLICATE
              Replicate memory on the given nodes; reads from this memory will attempt to be serviced  from  the
              NUMA  node  local  to the reading thread. Replicating can be useful when multiple threads from the
              specified NUMA nodes will be sharing the same read-only data. This policy can only  be  used  with
              existing  memory  allocations  (i.e., the hwloc_set_*membind*() functions); it cannot be used with
              functions that allocate new memory (i.e., the hwloc_alloc*() functions).

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_NEXTTOUCH
              For each page bound with this policy, by next time it is touched (and next time only), it is moved
              from its current location to the local NUMA node of the thread where the memory reference occurred
              (if it needs to be moved at all).

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_MIXED
              Returned by get_membind() functions when multiple threads or parts of a memory area have differing
              memory binding policies.

Function Documentation

   void* hwloc_alloc (hwloc_topology_t topology, size_t len)
       Allocate some memory. This is equivalent to malloc(), except  that  it  tries  to  allocate  page-aligned
       memory from the OS.

       Note:
           The allocated memory should be freed with hwloc_free().

   void*    hwloc_alloc_membind    (hwloc_topology_t    topology,    size_t   len,   hwloc_const_bitmap_t   set,
       hwloc_membind_policy_t policy, int flags)
       Allocate some memory on NUMA memory nodes specified by set.

       Returns:
           NULL with errno set to ENOSYS if the action is not supported and HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is given

           NULL with errno set to EXDEV if the binding cannot be enforced and HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is given

           NULL with errno set to ENOMEM if the memory allocation failed even before trying to bind.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is specified, set is considered a nodeset. Otherwise it's a cpuset.

       Note:
           The allocated memory should be freed with hwloc_free().

   void* hwloc_alloc_membind_nodeset (hwloc_topology_t  topology,  size_t  len,  hwloc_const_nodeset_t  nodeset,
       hwloc_membind_policy_t policy, int flags)
       Allocate some memory on NUMA memory nodes specified by nodeset.

       Returns:
           NULL with errno set to ENOSYS if the action is not supported and HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is given

           NULL with errno set to EXDEV if the binding cannot be enforced and HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is given

           NULL with errno set to ENOMEM if the memory allocation failed even before trying to bind.

       Note:
           The allocated memory should be freed with hwloc_free().

   static  void*  hwloc_alloc_membind_policy  (hwloc_topology_t  topology, size_t len, hwloc_const_bitmap_t set,
       hwloc_membind_policy_t policy, int flags) [inline],  [static]
       Allocate   some   memory   on   NUMA   memory   nodes   specified   by   set.   This   is   similar    to
       hwloc_alloc_membind_nodeset() except that it is allowed to change the current memory binding policy, thus
       providing more binding support, at the expense of changing the current state.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is specified, set is considered a nodeset. Otherwise it's a cpuset.

   static void* hwloc_alloc_membind_policy_nodeset (hwloc_topology_t topology, size_t len, hwloc_const_nodeset_t
       nodeset, hwloc_membind_policy_t policy, int flags) [inline],  [static]
       Allocate  some memory on NUMA memory nodes specified by nodeset. This is similar to hwloc_alloc_membind()
       except that it is allowed to change the current  memory  binding  policy,  thus  providing  more  binding
       support, at the expense of changing the current state.

   int hwloc_free (hwloc_topology_t topology, void * addr, size_t len)
       Free memory that was previously allocated by hwloc_alloc() or hwloc_alloc_membind().

   int  hwloc_get_area_membind  (hwloc_topology_t  topology,  const void * addr, size_t len, hwloc_bitmap_t set,
       hwloc_membind_policy_t * policy, int flags)
       Query the CPUs near the physical NUMA node(s) and binding policy of the memory identified by  (addr,  len
       ).  This  function  has  two  output  parameters: set and policy. The values returned in these parameters
       depend on both the flags passed in and the memory binding policies and  nodesets  of  the  pages  in  the
       address range.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is specified, the target pages are first checked to see if they all have the same
       memory  binding policy and nodeset. If they do not, -1 is returned and errno is set to EXDEV. If they are
       identical across all pages, the set and policy are returned in set and policy, respectively.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is not specified, the union of all NUMA node(s) containing pages in  the  address
       range  is  calculated.  If  all  pages  in  the  target  have  the same policy, it is returned in policy.
       Otherwise, policy is set to HWLOC_MEMBIND_MIXED.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is specified, set is considered a nodeset. Otherwise it's a cpuset.

       If len is 0, -1 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL.

       If any other flags are specified, -1 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL.

   int hwloc_get_area_membind_nodeset (hwloc_topology_t topology, const void * addr, size_t len, hwloc_nodeset_t
       nodeset, hwloc_membind_policy_t * policy, int flags)
       Query the physical NUMA node(s) and binding policy of  the  memory  identified  by  (addr,  len  ).  This
       function has two output parameters: nodeset and policy. The values returned in these parameters depend on
       both the flags passed in and the memory binding policies and nodesets of the pages in the address range.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is specified, the target pages are first checked to see if they all have the same
       memory  binding policy and nodeset. If they do not, -1 is returned and errno is set to EXDEV. If they are
       identical across all pages, the nodeset and policy are returned in nodeset and policy, respectively.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is not specified, nodeset is set to the union  of  all  NUMA  node(s)  containing
       pages  in  the  address range. If all pages in the target have the same policy, it is returned in policy.
       Otherwise, policy is set to HWLOC_MEMBIND_MIXED.

       If len is 0, -1 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL.

       If any other flags are specified, -1 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL.

   int hwloc_get_area_memlocation (hwloc_topology_t topology, const void * addr, size_t len, hwloc_bitmap_t set,
       int flags)
       Get the NUMA nodes where memory identified by (addr, len ) is physically allocated. Fills  set  according
       to  the NUMA nodes where the memory area pages are physically allocated. If no page is actually allocated
       yet, set may be empty.

       If pages spread to multiple nodes, it is not specified whether they spread equitably, or whether most  of
       them are on a single node, etc.

       The  operating  system may move memory pages from one processor to another at any time according to their
       binding, so this function may return something that is already outdated.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is specified in flags, set is considered a nodeset. Otherwise it's a cpuset.

       If len is 0, set is emptied.

   int hwloc_get_membind (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_bitmap_t set, hwloc_membind_policy_t  *  policy,  int
       flags)
       Query  the  default  memory  binding  policy and physical locality of the current process or thread. This
       function has two output parameters: set and policy. The values returned in  these  parameters  depend  on
       both the flags passed in and the current memory binding policies and nodesets in the queried target.

       Passing  the  HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS  flag  specifies  that  the  query target is the current policies and
       nodesets for all the threads in the current process.  Passing  HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD  specifies  that  the
       query target is the current policy and nodeset for only the thread invoking this function.

       If  neither  of  these flags are passed (which is the most portable method), the process is assumed to be
       single threaded. This allows hwloc to use either process-based OS functions or thread-based OS functions,
       depending on which are available.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is only meaningful when HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS is also specified. In this case, hwloc
       will check the default memory policies and nodesets for all threads in  the  process.  If  they  are  not
       identical,  -1  is  returned and errno is set to EXDEV. If they are identical, the values are returned in
       set and policy.

       Otherwise, if HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS is specified (and HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is not specified), the default
       set from each thread is logically OR'ed together. If all threads' default policies are the  same,  policy
       is set to that policy. If they are different, policy is set to HWLOC_MEMBIND_MIXED.

       In  the  HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD  case  (or  when  neither  HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS or HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD is
       specified), there is only one set and policy; they are returned in set and policy, respectively.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is specified, set is considered a nodeset. Otherwise it's a cpuset.

       If any other flags are specified, -1 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL.

   int hwloc_get_membind_nodeset (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_nodeset_t nodeset,  hwloc_membind_policy_t  *
       policy, int flags)
       Query  the  default  memory  binding  policy and physical locality of the current process or thread. This
       function has two output parameters: nodeset and policy. The values returned in these parameters depend on
       both the flags passed in and the current memory binding policies and nodesets in the queried target.

       Passing the HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS flag specifies that the  query  target  is  the  current  policies  and
       nodesets  for  all  the  threads  in the current process. Passing HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD specifies that the
       query target is the current policy and nodeset for only the thread invoking this function.

       If neither of these flags are passed (which is the most portable method), the process is  assumed  to  be
       single threaded. This allows hwloc to use either process-based OS functions or thread-based OS functions,
       depending on which are available.

       HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is only meaningful when HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS is also specified. In this case, hwloc
       will  check  the  default  memory  policies  and nodesets for all threads in the process. If they are not
       identical, -1 is returned and errno is set to EXDEV. If they are identical, the values  are  returned  in
       nodeset and policy.

       Otherwise,  if HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS is specified (and HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT is not specified), nodeset is
       set to the logical OR of all threads' default nodeset. If all threads' default  policies  are  the  same,
       policy is set to that policy. If they are different, policy is set to HWLOC_MEMBIND_MIXED.

       In  the  HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD  case  (or  when  neither  HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS or HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD is
       specified), there is only one nodeset and policy; they are returned in nodeset and policy, respectively.

       If any other flags are specified, -1 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL.

   int   hwloc_get_proc_membind   (hwloc_topology_t   topology,    hwloc_pid_t    pid,    hwloc_bitmap_t    set,
       hwloc_membind_policy_t * policy, int flags)
       Query the default memory binding policy and physical locality of the specified process. This function has
       two  output  parameters: set and policy. The values returned in these parameters depend on both the flags
       passed in and the current memory binding policies and nodesets in the queried target.

       Passing the HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS flag specifies that the  query  target  is  the  current  policies  and
       nodesets  for  all the threads in the specified process. If HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS is not specified (which
       is the most portable method), the process is assumed to be single threaded.  This  allows  hwloc  to  use
       either process-based OS functions or thread-based OS functions, depending on which are available.

       Note that it does not make sense to pass HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD to this function.

       If  HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT  is specified, hwloc will check the default memory policies and nodesets for all
       threads in the specified process. If they are not identical, -1 is returned and errno is set to EXDEV. If
       they are identical, the values are returned in set and policy.

       Otherwise, set is set to the logical OR of all threads' default set. If all threads' default policies are
       the same, policy is set to that policy. If they are different, policy is set to HWLOC_MEMBIND_MIXED.

       If HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is specified, set is considered a nodeset. Otherwise it's a cpuset.

       If any other flags are specified, -1 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL.

       Note:
           hwloc_pid_t is pid_t on Unix platforms, and HANDLE on native Windows platforms.

   int hwloc_get_proc_membind_nodeset (hwloc_topology_t  topology,  hwloc_pid_t  pid,  hwloc_nodeset_t  nodeset,
       hwloc_membind_policy_t * policy, int flags)
       Query the default memory binding policy and physical locality of the specified process. This function has
       two  output  parameters:  nodeset  and policy. The values returned in these parameters depend on both the
       flags passed in and the current memory binding policies and nodesets in the queried target.

       Passing the HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS flag specifies that the  query  target  is  the  current  policies  and
       nodesets  for  all the threads in the specified process. If HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS is not specified (which
       is the most portable method), the process is assumed to be single threaded.  This  allows  hwloc  to  use
       either process-based OS functions or thread-based OS functions, depending on which are available.

       Note that it does not make sense to pass HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD to this function.

       If  HWLOC_MEMBIND_STRICT  is specified, hwloc will check the default memory policies and nodesets for all
       threads in the specified process. If they are not identical, -1 is returned and errno is set to EXDEV. If
       they are identical, the values are returned in nodeset and policy.

       Otherwise, nodeset is set to the logical OR of all threads' default  nodeset.  If  all  threads'  default
       policies  are  the  same,  policy  is  set  to  that  policy.  If  they  are  different, policy is set to
       HWLOC_MEMBIND_MIXED.

       If any other flags are specified, -1 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL.

       Note:
           hwloc_pid_t is pid_t on Unix platforms, and HANDLE on native Windows platforms.

   int hwloc_set_area_membind (hwloc_topology_t topology, const void * addr,  size_t  len,  hwloc_const_bitmap_t
       set, hwloc_membind_policy_t policy, int flags)
       Bind  the  already-allocated  memory  identified  by (addr, len) to the NUMA node(s) specified by set. If
       HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is specified, set is considered a nodeset. Otherwise it's a cpuset.

       Returns:
           0 if len is 0.

   int  hwloc_set_membind  (hwloc_topology_t  topology, hwloc_const_bitmap_t set, hwloc_membind_policy_t policy,
       int flags)
       Set the default memory binding policy of the current  process  or  thread  to  prefer  the  NUMA  node(s)
       specified  by  set.  If  neither HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS nor HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD is specified, the current
       process is assumed to be single-threaded. This is the most portable form  as  it  permits  hwloc  to  use
       either process-based OS functions or thread-based OS functions, depending on which are available.

       Set the default memory binding policy of the current  process  or  thread  to  prefer  the  NUMA  node(s)
       specified by nodeset. If neither HWLOC_MEMBIND_PROCESS nor HWLOC_MEMBIND_THREAD is specified, the current

       hwloc_membind_policy_t policy, int flags)
       Set  the  default  memory binding policy of the specified process to prefer the NUMA node(s) specified by
       set. If HWLOC_MEMBIND_BYNODESET is specified, set is considered a nodeset. Otherwise it's a cpuset.

       Returns:
           -1 with errno set to ENOSYS if the action is not supported
