We found that, the sequence of processor and physical id are not same with different platform. Conf 1: 6cores processor *2 with numa-enabled. kernel 3.1.0 Ceontos 6.3 Conf 2: 6cores processor *2 with numa-enabled. kernel 3.1.0 Ceontos 6.3 Conf 1 and Conf2 own same OS, kernel, and CPU, the sequences of physical id from "cat /proc/cpuinfo" is not same. Conf1 has sequence with "cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep "physical id"" physical id:0 physical id:1 physical id:0 physical id:1 physical id:0 physical id:1 physical id:0 physical id:1 physical id:0 physical id:1 physical id:0 physical id:1 ... Conf2 has following sequence instead: physical id:0 physical id:0 physical id:0 physical id:0 physical id:0 physical id:0 physical id:1 physical id:1 physical id:1 physical id:1 physical id:1 physical id:1 -------- different cpu physical id sequence can probably causes severe numa-cross memory access for our program whose memory allocation depends directly on the logical cpu id, rather than carefully get numa node information with portable numa-API. Any one can clarify our trouble, thanks a lot. BR.
