How's this:
Notice that hwloc only sees half the PUs when SMT is disabled. PU#15,
for example, seems to change location from NUMA node #0 to #1. In
reality, no PU's "moved" -- they were simply re-numbered when hwloc
only saw half as many. Hence, PU#15 in the SMT-disabled picture
probably corresponds to PU#30 in the SMT-enabled picture.
This same "PUs have disappeared" effect can be seen on other platforms
-- even platforms / OSs that provide much more information than the
above PPC64 system. This is an unfortunate side-effect of how
operating systems report information to hwloc.
