likwid does not work in a restricted CPUSET #63

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If likwid is invoked inside a restricted Linux CPUSET it may not work correctly 
or quit with an error.

This situation can occur in shared environments if the batch scheduler imposes 
a cpuset on a job.

Possible solution:

As an alternative to cpuid extract information from /proc/cpuinfo (apicID).
Need still to ad proper error handling if non allowed processors are requested.

Decided on the following solution:

There is an additional small application which will extract the topology 
information and store it to a file. On startup all likwid apps will check if 
this file is there and pick up the topology info, if it is missing it will be 
extracted as it happens now.
