[PATCHv4 07/13] node: Add heterogenous memory access attributes

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

 



Heterogeneous memory systems provide memory nodes with different latency
and bandwidth performance attributes. Provide a new kernel interface for
subsystems to register the attributes under the memory target node's
initiator access class. If the system provides this information, applications
may query these attributes when deciding which node to request memory.

The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy for a node exporting
performance attributes:

  # tree -P "read*|write*" /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/classZ/
  /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/classZ/
  |-- read_bandwidth
  |-- read_latency
  |-- write_bandwidth
  `-- write_latency

The bandwidth is exported as MB/s and latency is reported in nanoseconds.
Memory accesses from an initiator node that is not one of the memory's
class "Z" initiator nodes may encounter different performance than
reported here. When a subsystem makes use of this interface, initiators
of a lower class number, "Z", have better performance relative to higher
class numbers. When provided, class 0 is the highest performing access
class.
