+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+hwloc: hwloc (Portable Hardware Locality)
+hwloc:
+hwloc: The Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) software package provides a
+hwloc: portable abstraction (across OS, versions, architectures, ...) of the
+hwloc: hierarchical topology of modern architectures, including NUMA memory
+hwloc: nodes, sockets, shared caches, cores and simultaneous multithreading.
+hwloc: It also gathers various system attributes such as cache and memory
+hwloc: information as well as the locality of I/O devices such as network
+hwloc: interfaces, InfiniBand HCAs or GPUs. It primarily aims at helping
+hwloc: applications with gathering information about modern computing
+hwloc: hardware so as to exploit it accordingly and efficiently.
