Hello

I assume you're talking about MPI ranks, right? In the general case, you can't. hwloc knows about processes, not about ranks. And there's no standard way to convert between them.

That said, Open MPI defines the OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK environment variable that contains what you want. If you use hwloc 1.6 or later, hwloc-ps has a new --pid-cmd option that will help.

Create a script containing:
#!/bin/sh
cat /proc/$1/environ 2>/dev/null | xargs --null --max-args=1 echo | grep OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK

Then call hwloc-ps like this to get the PID, binding, command and rank of each process:
$ utils/hwloc-ps --pid-cmd myscript
29093 L1dCache:0     myprogram OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK=0
29094 L1dCache:2     myprogram OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK=1
29095 L1dCache:1     myprogram OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK=2
29096 L1dCache:3     myprogram OMPI_COMM_WORLD_RANK=3

Does that help?

Hello Sir,

How do we know the processor on which a particular process is running using hwloc?
The only information we have is the rank of the process.
