Summary: Seeing improvement on a 2 node when running autonumabenchmark . But seeing regression for specjbb for the same box. Also seeing huge regression when running autonumabenchmark both on 4 node and 8 node box. Below is the autonuma benchmark results on a 2 node machine. Autonuma benchmark results. mainline v3.9: (Ht enabled) Testcase: Min Max Avg StdDev numa01: 220.12 246.96 239.18 9.69 numa02: 41.85 43.02 42.43 0.47 v3.9 + Mel's v5 patches:A (Ht enabled) Testcase: Min Max Avg StdDev %Change numa01: 239.52 242.99 241.61 1.26 -1.00% numa02: 37.94 38.12 38.05 0.06 11.49% mainline v3.9: Testcase: Min Max Avg StdDev numa01: 118.72 121.04 120.23 0.83 numa02: 36.64 37.56 36.99 0.34 v3.9 + Mel's v5 patches: Testcase: Min Max Avg StdDev %Change numa01: 111.34 122.28 118.61 3.77 1.32% numa02: 36.23 37.27 36.55 0.37 1.18% Here are results of specjbb run on a 2 node machine. Specjbb was run on 3 vms. In the fit case, one vm was big to fit one node size. In the no-fit case, one vm was bigger than the node size.
