Hi All, I use a dual core processor on which xen runs (since one of them becomes the master, xen and Dom0 gets loaded from the memory behind that processor). How and where would I have to change the configuration under xen to force it to use the memory behind other processor for allocating guest memory (DomUs), if created one.

RE: ***DHSPAM*** [Xen-users] Xen DomU memory allocation [regd]
What you are looking for is Numa capabilities for Xen, which unfortunately I don''t believe exists just yet, at least in the capacity that you are asking.>From what I can tell by reading discussion threads, Xen (should) export Numainformation to guests about cpu to memory page distances, so a numa aware guest (linux 2.5/2.6, windows 2003 server and newer.. etc) will be able to take advantage of that information for scheduling processes, but I don''t believe Xen in itself can assign memory based on the distance to the vcpu''s used for that guest. At least, not yet. _____ From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of dinesh chandrasekaran Sent: June 3, 2008 3:39 PM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: ***DHSPAM*** [Xen-users] Xen DomU memory allocation [regd] Hi All, I use a dual core processor on which xen runs (since one of them becomes the master, xen and Dom0 gets loaded from the memory behind that processor).

Thank you, what if I replace one of the processors with a FPGA co-processor. This will just look like a PCI device for the BIOS during bootup. Will the same challenge stay for the above scenario too _________________________________________________________________ Watch hottest Bollywood videos, clips, movie tailors, star interviews, songs and more on MSN videos. http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-in _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
