i''m reading up on numa usage. so far, i''ve enabled numa on my Xen box. @ Dom0 i see, xm dmesg | grep -i numa (XEN) Command line: ... numa=on ... (XEN) No NUMA configuration found i guess i need to ''configure'' numa. i''ve no clue how, and haven''t found the docs for it yet, despite looking. i found this old thread,

Hello all, I was recently trying out NUMA placement for my guests on both x86_64 and ppc64 machines. When booting a guest on the x86_64 machine, the following specs were valid (obviously, just notable excepts from the xml): <memory unit='KiB'>8388608</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>8388608</currentMemory> <vcpu

Hi, should NUMA be enabled in the BIOS of a server that has two sockets but only a single CPU in one of the sockets? From what I?ve been reading, it is unclear to me if NUMA should be enabled only on systems with multiple CPUs in multiple sockets or if multiple cores of a single CPU in a single socket benefit from NUMA being enabled, and if memory access in general benefits from NUMA being

Hi, I am a Masters student from Carnegie Mellon University. I am looking for a research topics for an Advanced OS & DS course we have. I wanted to know what is the current support for NUMA on Xen ? Does it support the IBM x440 and AMD64 Opteron ? Also, does the Xen scheduler do NUMA aware scheduling so it does not degrade the VM performace ? My group is currently looking into Scheduling

Hello all, I'm trying to setup a NUMA topology identical as the machine which hosts the qemu-kvm VirtualMachine. numactl -H on the host: available: 8 nodes (0-7) node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 node 0 size: 8189 MB node 0 free: 7581 MB node 1 cpus: 6 7 8 9 10 11 node 1 size: 8192 MB node 1 free: 7061 MB node 2 cpus: 12 13 14 15 16 17 node 2 size: 8192 MB node 2 free: 6644 MB node 3 cpus: 18 19 20

The patchset will add basic NUMA support to Xen (hypervisor only). We borrowed from Linux support for NUMA SRAT table parsing, discontiguous memory tracking (mem chunks), and cpu support (node_to_cpumask etc). The hypervisor parses the SRAT tables and constructs mappings for each node such as node to cpu mappings and memory range to node mappings. Using this information, we also modified the

These patches are not ready to be merged because I was unable to measure a performance improvement. I'm publishing them so they are archived in case someone picks up this work again in the future. The goal of these patches is to allocate virtqueues and driver state from the device's NUMA node for optimal memory access latency. Only guests with a vNUMA topology and virtio devices spread

Hello, Hope all is well. I've been looking at how I can create a virtual machine which is NUMA capable. I was able to do that by: 140 <qemu:commandline> 143 <qemu:arg value='-numa'/> 144 <qemu:arg value='node'/> 145 <qemu:arg value='-numa'/> 146 <qemu:arg value='node'/> 147 </qemu:commandline> This

Hi folks, we are using a Tyan TK8W 2885 Mainboard (latest BIOS) w/ 2 Dual Core Opteron 280EE and 8GB of RAM (4GB per Socket). Furthermore we run CentOS 5.1 w/ Xen 3.2.1. (build from SRPM). We also tried 3.2.0. I tried both, the CentOS 5.1 Xen Kernel as well as the latest RHEL 5.2 Kernel but we do not get two NUMA domains as we (in my opinion) are supposed to. Do we need to recompile anything?

Dear R-devel list, R's detectCores() function internally calls "ncpus" function to get the total number of logical processors. However, this doesnot seem to take NUMA into account on Windows machines. On a machine having 48 processors (24 cores) in total and windows server 2012 installed, if NUMA is enabled and has 2 nodes (node 0 and node 1 each having 24 CPUs), then R's

Laine, Thank you for your response. I did use the numa element instead of using qemu commandline and that worked: 16 <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> ... 34 <numa> 35 <cell id='0' cpus='0-1' memory='1048576' unit='KiB'/> 36 <cell id='1' cpus='2-3' memory='1048576'
