This project contains a modified numactl
implementation that adds support for controlling the page table allocation
policies of processes in addition to changing NUMA allocation policies.
To run this software, Linux must be configured with the Mitosis extension enabled.
Simple NUMA policy support. It consists of a numactl program to run other programs with a specific NUMA policy and a libnuma shared library ("NUMA API") to set NUMA policy in applications.
The libnuma binary interface is supposed to stay binary compatible.
Incompatible changes will use new symbol version numbers.
In addition there are various test and utility programs, like numastat to
display NUMA allocation statistics and memhog.
In test/ there is a small regression test suite.
Note that regress assumes a unloaded machine with memory free on each node.
Otherwise you will get spurious failures in the non-strict policies (prefered,
interleave.)
See the manpages numactl.8 and
numa.3 for details.
numactl and the demo programs are under the GNU General Public License, v.2.
libnuma is under the GNU Lesser General Public License, v2.1.
The manpages are under the same license as the Linux manpages (see the files.)
numademo links with a library derived from the C version of STREAM by John D.
McCalpin and Joe R. Zagar for one sub benchmark. See stream_lib.c for the
license. In particular when you publish numademo output you might need to pay
attention there or filter out the STREAM results.
It also uses a public domain Mersenne Twister implementation from Michael Brundage.
