One can certainly handle the general case, by explicitly listing the selected CPUs. The trade off is in finding a middle path, that is sufficiently general for most cases, but still easier to use than the brute force listing the selected CPUs. I am open to adding a cpuset command option for that middle path, but I will probably need more inspiration to discover a good option, and more real life feedback to know what will be most useful. > I think we should add the "locality information" into ...
