Yeah... it can be a bit confusing though since it has both a 'logical' (-l)  and a 'physical' (-p) view.

I _think_ that the cpu ids in the physical view match what taskset use via broctl.

Fortunately you can run hwloc-ps -p and compare which pids are mapped to which cpus to verify it is working right.
