NVIDIA Improving Linux NUMA Distance Interface To Enhance Performance

Phoronix - Wed, 07/20/2022 - 00:42
NVIDIA engineers have been working on NUMA distance metrics within the Linux kernel to replace the simple local/remote NUMA preference interface currently used by some drivers for NUMA-aware memory allocations. In their testing this improved NUMA distance handling is leading to "significant performance implications" for throughput and CPU utilization...
