However, I did *not* bind them to nodes because that would be completely pointless for this type of test. I've queued up another set of tests and added a single-JVM configuration to the mix. The kernels will have debugging, lockstat enabled and will be running two passes with the second pass running profiling so the results will not be directly comparable. However, I'll keep a close eye on the Single vs Multi JVM results. Thanks. -- Mel Gorman SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
