Babu, In this section that Reinette refers to above: Reading/writing the schemata file (on AMD systems) -------------------------------------------------- Reading the schemata file will show the current bandwidth limit on all domains. The allocated resources are in multiples of one eighth GB/s. When writing to the file, you need to specify what cache id you wish to configure the bandwidth limit. Reading the schemata file will show the current bandwidth limit on all domains. The allocated resources are in multiples of one eighth GB/s. When writing to the file, you need to specify what cache id you wish to configure the bandwidth limit. Does "one eighth GB/s" mean 134217728 bytes/s or 125000000 bytes/s? I.e. is the documentation accurate, or sloppily using GB/s when it should have said GiB/s? Thanks -Tony
