[PATCH 2/5] docs: Define XML schema for numa tuning and add docs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently we only want to use "membind" function of numactl, but
perhaps more other functions in future, so introduce element
"<numatune>", future NUMA tuning related XML stuffs should go
into it.
