Got a chance to run autonuma-benchmark on a 8 node, 64 core machine. the results are as below. (for each kernel I ran 5 iterations of autonuma-benchmark) KernelVersion: 3.7.0-rc3-mainline_v37rc7() Testcase: Min Max Avg numa01: 1562.65 1621.02 1595.92 numa01_HARD_BIND: 916.84 1114.15 1031.68 numa01_INVERSE_BIND: 2841.51 7864.06 4145.55 numa01_THREAD_ALLOC: 1014.28 1722.63 1233.83 numa01_THREAD_ALLOC_HARD_BIND: 595.15 683.74 645.45 numa01_THREAD_ALLOC_INVERSE_BIND: 1987.64 3324.27 2431.64 numa02: 126.07 147.53 132.66 numa02_HARD_BIND: 25.82 26.54 26.16 numa02_INVERSE_BIND: 339.12 352.30 344.61 numa02_SMT: 137.85 369.20 202.97 numa02_SMT_HARD_BIND: 27.11 151.72 84.33 numa02_SMT_INVERSE_BIND: 287.53 1510.83 535.73 KernelVersion: 3.6.0-autonuma+() Testcase: Min Max Avg %Change numa01: 2102.39 2283.92 2211.19 -27.83% numa01_HARD_BIND: 929.84 1155.89 1054.46 -2.16% numa01_INVERSE_BIND: 2959.99 4309.97 3366.57 23.14% numa01_THREAD_ALLOC: 354.59 453.28 381.67 223.27% numa01_THREAD_ALLOC_HARD_BIND: 580.08 1041.88 749.49 -13.88% numa01_THREAD_ALLOC_INVERSE_BIND: 1805.52 2186.07 1990.85 22.14% numa02: 50.06 62.44 58.25 127.74% numa02_HARD_BIND: 25.85 26.26 26.03 0.50% numa02_INVERSE_BIND: 335.19 378.02 345.20 -0.17% numa02_SMT: 56.73 71.73 63.67 218.78% numa02_SMT_HARD_BIND: 35.70 75.05 50.52 66.92% numa02_SMT_INVERSE_BIND: 292.38 302.87 297.85 79.87% KernelVersion: 3.7.0-rc6-mel_auto_balance+ (mm-balancenuma-v7r6) Testcase: Min Max Avg %Change numa01: 1606.26 1815.21 1703.47 -6.31% numa01_HARD_BIND: 952.50 1186.68 1072.18 -3.78% numa01_INVERSE_BIND: 2851.68 5238.50 3417.63 21.30% numa01_THREAD_ALLOC: 1013.36 2675.91 1681.84 -26.64% numa01_THREAD_ALLOC_HARD_BIND: 660.48 1310.79 1007.33 -35.92% numa01_THREAD_ALLOC_INVERSE_BIND: 1858.45 2567.01 2053.79 18.40% numa02: 127.00 387.29 181.77 -27.02% numa02_HARD_BIND: 25.58 26.30 26.07 0.35% numa02_INVERSE_BIND: 342.17 448.23 367.59 -6.25% numa02_SMT: 150.28 739.28 313.60 -35.28% numa02_SMT_HARD_BIND: 27.46 234.01 109.82 -23.21% numa02_SMT_INVERSE_BIND: 289.47 500.87 339.96 57.59% KernelVersion: 3.7.0-rc5-tip_master+ (Nov 23rd tip) Testcase: Min Max Avg %Change numa01: 1294.35 1760.17 1555.51 2.60% numa01_HARD_BIND: 769.32 2588.15 1429.87 -27.85% numa01_INVERSE_BIND: 3003.87 4041.55 3335.73 24.28% numa01_THREAD_ALLOC: 308.77 341.92 321.26 284.06% numa01_THREAD_ALLOC_HARD_BIND: 484.54 547.84 516.80 24.89% numa01_THREAD_ALLOC_INVERSE_BIND: 1873.33 2026.21 1978.36 22.91% numa02: 34.73 38.61 36.62 262.26% numa02_HARD_BIND: 29.08 31.07 29.66 -11.80% numa02_INVERSE_BIND: 30.72 34.16 31.60 990.54% numa02_SMT: 36.05 43.49 40.35 403.02% numa02_SMT_HARD_BIND: 43.26 100.50 67.12 25.64% numa02_SMT_INVERSE_BIND: 44.33 114.72 75.12 613.17% -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
