47 * hardware information available on all ranks.
49 * This routine constructs the global hwinfo structure and returns a pointer to
50 * it. It will run a preamble before executing cpu and hardware checks, and
51 * then run consistency checks afterwards. The results will also be made
52 * available on all nodes.
54 * May do communication on MPI_COMM_WORLD when compiled with real MPI.
56 * All processes in a physical node need to coordinate calling this
57 * routine. With thread-MPI only the first call leads to detection
58 * work, and any subsequent call receives the same handle. With real
59 * MPI, communication is needed to coordinate the results. In all
60 * cases, any thread within a process may use the returned handle. */
