Hi John and Jeff
John: Thank you very much for pointing this out.
I would never knew about it without your tip.
I have yet to understand what it does
(I'm browsing the documentation now), and how
it can help understand, and perhaps monitor and allocate,
CPU/core resources.
Jeff: Should I wait for the 1.0 stable release?
Use the current stable v0.9.3?
John says one can go fearless with the 1.0 candidate release,
but I tend to chicken out at cutting edge stuff.
Thank you,
Gus Correa

Regarding hyperthreading, and finding our information about your CPUs

I downloaded the 1.0 release candidate, and it compiled and ran first
time on Nehalem systems. Gives a superb and helpful view of core and
cache layout. Don't be afraid to download this version.
(we hope to hit hwloc v1.0 GA very, very soon :-) )
