NAME

       hwloc-distances - Displays distance matrices

SYNOPSIS

       hwloc-distances [options]

OPTIONS

       -l --logical
              Display hwloc logical indexes (default) instead of physical/OS indexes.

       -p --physical
              Display OS/physical indexes instead of hwloc logical indexes.

       -i <file>, --input <file>
              Read topology from XML file <file> (instead of discovering the topology on the local machine).  If
              <file>  is  "-",  the standard input is used.  XML support must have been compiled in to hwloc for
              this option to be usable.

       -i <directory>, --input <directory>
              Read topology from the chroot specified by <directory> (instead of discovering the topology on the
              local machine).  This option is generally only available on Linux.  The chroot was usually created
              by gathering another machine topology with hwloc-gather-topology.

       -i <specification>, --input <specification>
              Simulate a fake hierarchy  (instead  of  discovering  the  topology  on  the  local  machine).  If
              <specification> is "node:2 pu:3", the topology will contain two NUMA nodes with 3 processing units
              in each of them.  The <specification> string must end with a number of PUs.

       --if <format>, --input-format <format>
              Enforce the input in the given format, among xml, fsroot and synthetic.

       --restrict <cpuset>
              Restrict the topology to the given cpuset.

       --whole-system
              Do not consider administration limitations.

       -v --verbose
              Verbose messages.

       --version
              Report version and exit.

DESCRIPTION

       hwloc-distances  displays  also distance matrices attached to the topology.  A breadth-first traversal of
       the topology is performed starting from the root to find all distance matrices.

       NOTE: lstopo may also display distance matrices in its  verbose  textual  output.   However  lstopo  only
       prints  matrices  that cover the entire topology while hwloc-distances also displays matrices that ignore
       part of the topology.

EXAMPLES

       On a quad-socket opteron machine:

           $ hwloc-distances
           Latency matrix between 4 NUMANodes (depth 2) by logical indexes:
             index     0     1     2     3
                 0 1.000 1.600 2.200 2.200
                 1 1.600 1.000 2.200 2.200
                 2 2.200 2.200 1.000 1.600
                 3 2.200 2.200 1.600 1.000

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful execution, hwloc-distances returns 0.

       hwloc-distances will return nonzero if any kind of error occurs, such as (but not limited to) failure  to
       parse the command line.
