Hardware Locality is a set of command-line tools that provide you with functions for portable abstraction of hierarchical architectures and computing.

The tool is designed to work across platforms, operating systems, versions or architectures, being capable of analyzing the topology of modern architectures.

Hardware Locality can not only analyze the hierarchy of architecture topology, but also NUMA memory nodes, sockets, shared caches, cores and simultaneous multithreading.

Moreover, it can retrieve system attributes information, such as cache and memory status, the locality of I/O devices, network interfaces and GPUs.

It can come in handy for improving the performance of applications, based on the type of system they run on.

Hardware Locality can be operated via Command Line and provides a C API designed to help you obtain the hierarchical map of key computing elements.

It can assemble topologies stemming from multiple machines into a single thread, allowing applications to analyze the data sets simultaneously, in a single cluster.

The tool is a suitable solution for projects that exploit code and data locality on modern computing platforms, offering support for computing applications.

Hardware Locality is a powerful cross-platform utility, which can be successfully used on Windows, Linux, Solaris, OS X and several others, on various types of kernels.

Moreover, it can work with numerous types of architectures and processor types since it does not rely on the CPU support.

The tool can deploy the retrieved information in a user-readable format, by exporting the data in one of the supported formats.

Thus, you may save the data as plain text in TXT or PDFs, as well as PNG or FIG formats. Several other formats are supported as long as you provide the required libraries.

Hardware Locality comes with a detailed documentation, which can explain its functionality, as well as offer you several examples.

It also features a processor compatibility verification tool, which indicates whether the utility can properly run on your PC.

What's new in Hardware Locality 2.10.0:

  • Heterogeneous Memory core improvements:
  • Better heuristics to identify the subtype of memory such as HBM, DRAM, NVM, CXL-DRAM, etc.
  • Build memory tiers, i.e. sets of NUMA nodes with the same subtype and similar performance.
  • NUMA node tier ranks are exposed in the new MemoryTier info attribute (starts from 0 for highest bandwidth tier)..
