NAME

       hwlocality_distances_add - Add distances between objects

SYNOPSIS

   Typedefs
       typedef void * hwloc_distances_add_handle_t

   Enumerations
       enum hwloc_distances_add_flag_e { HWLOC_DISTANCES_ADD_FLAG_GROUP,
           HWLOC_DISTANCES_ADD_FLAG_GROUP_INACCURATE }

   Functions
       hwloc_distances_add_handle_t hwloc_distances_add_create (hwloc_topology_t topology, const
           char *name, unsigned long kind, unsigned long flags)
       int hwloc_distances_add_values (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_distances_add_handle_t
           handle, unsigned nbobjs, hwloc_obj_t *objs, hwloc_uint64_t *values, unsigned long
           flags)
       int hwloc_distances_add_commit (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_distances_add_handle_t
           handle, unsigned long flags)

Detailed Description

       The usual way to add distances is:

       hwloc_distances_add_handle_t handle;
       int err = -1;
       handle = hwloc_distances_add_create(topology, "name", kind, 0);
       if (handle) {
         err = hwloc_distances_add_values(topology, handle, nbobjs, objs, values, 0);
         if (!err)
           err = hwloc_distances_add_commit(topology, handle, flags);
       }

        If err is 0 at the end, then addition was successful.

Typedef Documentation

   typedef void* hwloc_distances_add_handle_t
       Handle to a new distances structure during its addition to the topology.

Enumeration Type Documentation

   enum hwloc_distances_add_flag_e
       Flags for adding a new distances to a topology.

       Enumerator

       HWLOC_DISTANCES_ADD_FLAG_GROUP
              Try to group objects based on the newly provided distance information. This is
              ignored for distances between objects of different types.

       HWLOC_DISTANCES_ADD_FLAG_GROUP_INACCURATE
              If grouping, consider the distance values as inaccurate and relax the comparisons
              during the grouping algorithms. The actual accuracy may be modified through the
              HWLOC_GROUPING_ACCURACY environment variable (see Environment Variables).

Function Documentation

   int hwloc_distances_add_commit (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_distances_add_handle_t
       handle, unsigned long flags)
       Commit a new distances structure. This function finalizes the distances structure and
       inserts in it the topology.

       Parameter handle was previously returned by hwloc_distances_add_create(). Then objects and
       values were specified with hwloc_distances_add_values().

       flags configures the behavior of the function using an optional OR'ed set of
       hwloc_distances_add_flag_e. It may be used to request the grouping of existing objects
       based on distances.

       On error, the temporary distances structure and its content are destroyed.

       Returns
           0 on success.

           -1 on error.

   hwloc_distances_add_handle_t hwloc_distances_add_create (hwloc_topology_t topology, const char
       * name, unsigned long kind, unsigned long flags)
       Create a new empty distances structure. Create an empty distances structure to be filled
       with hwloc_distances_add_values() and then committed with hwloc_distances_add_commit().

       Parameter name is optional, it may be NULL. Otherwise, it will be copied internally and
       may later be freed by the caller.

       kind specifies the kind of distance as a OR'ed set of hwloc_distances_kind_e. Kind
       HWLOC_DISTANCES_KIND_HETEROGENEOUS_TYPES will be automatically set according to objects
       having different types in hwloc_distances_add_values().

       flags must be 0 for now.

       Returns
           A hwloc_distances_add_handle_t that should then be passed to
           hwloc_distances_add_values() and hwloc_distances_add_commit().

           NULL on error.

   int hwloc_distances_add_values (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_distances_add_handle_t
       handle, unsigned nbobjs, hwloc_obj_t * objs, hwloc_uint64_t * values, unsigned long flags)
       Specify the objects and values in a new empty distances structure. Specify the objects and
       values for a new distances structure that was returned as a handle by
       hwloc_distances_add_create(). The structure must then be committed with
       hwloc_distances_add_commit().

       The number of objects is nbobjs and the array of objects is objs. Distance values are
       stored as a one-dimension array in values. The distance from object i to object j is in
       slot i*nbobjs+j.

       nbobjs must be at least 2.

       Arrays objs and values will be copied internally, they may later be freed by the caller.

       On error, the temporary distances structure and its content are destroyed.

       flags must be 0 for now.

       Returns
           0 on success.

           -1 on error.
