Hi Samuel,

how the topology gave by lstopo is built? In particolar, how the logical index P# are initialized?

Since these are P#0 and 1, they may not be indeed (physical indexes).
That's the whole problem of the indexes provided by operating systems.

No, because hwloc functions do not use physical, but logical indexes,
which it computes according to the topology. Use lstopo --top to check
the actual binding being used.
