Well, I believe you, but even with this, that's a total of 800MB memory on a giant moster system... probably just to fault in once. And even before we talk about that into details.. we're talking about such giant program running acorss hundreds of cores with hundreds of MB text, then... hasn't the program developer already considered mlockall() at the entry of the program? Wouldn't that greatly beneficial already with whatever granule of locks that a future fault would take? -- Peter Xu
