Subject: [PATCH 0/3] sched,numa: reduce page migrations with pseudo-interleaving
Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 13:00:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397235629-16328-1-git-send-email-riel@redhat.com> (raw)

The pseudo-interleaving code deals fairly well with the placement
of tasks that are part of workloads that span multiple NUMA nodes,
but the code has a number of corner cases left that can result in
higher than desired overhead.

This patch series reduces the overhead slightly, mostly visible
through a lower number of page migrations, while leaving the
throughput of the workload essentially unchanged.

On smaller NUMA systems, these patches should have little or no
effect. On a 4 node test system, I did see a reduction in the
number of page migrations running SPECjbb2005; autonuma-benchmark
appears to be unaffected.

NUMA page migrations on an 8 node system running SPECjbb2005,
