Why would you want to do that in a program? My specific case is quite simple: I have a program that creates a number of threads that are bound to run in specific cpus. I want to pre-allocate memory in the node of the cpu that the thread will run before the threads are created using numa_alloc_onnode(). Obviously, there isn't a hard requirement to include such a function in libnuma, since it could be implemented using existing functions, or make the allocations after the threads are spawned using numa_alloc_local(). On the other hand I'm guessing that it could be useful to other cases as well. cheers, -- Kornilios Kourtis -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-numa" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
