But for memory resource control your NUMA emulation code may be too simple. With my patch, CONFIG_NUMA_EMU provides a way to partition a machine into several smaller nodes, regardless if the machine is using NUMA or not. This NUMA emulation code together with CPUSETS could be seen as a simple alternative to the memory resource control provided by CKRM. / magnus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
