Enable system hashtable memory to be distributed among nodes on x86_64 NUMA Forcing the kernel to use node interleaved vmalloc instead of bootmem for the system hashtable memory (alloc_large_system_hash) reduces the memory imbalance on node 0 by around 40MB on a 8 node x86_64 NUMA box: Before the following patch, on bootup of a 8 node box: Node 0 MemTotal: 3407488 kB Node 0 MemFree: 3206296 kB Node 0 MemUsed: 201192 kB Node 0 Active: 7012 kB Node 0 Inactive: 512 kB Node 0 Dirty: 0 kB Node 0 Writeback: 0 kB Node 0 FilePages: 1912 kB Node 0 Mapped: 420 kB Node 0 AnonPages: 5612 kB Node 0 PageTables: 468 kB Node 0 NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Node 0 Bounce: 0 kB Node 0 Slab: 5408 kB Node 0 SReclaimable: 644 kB Node 0 SUnreclaim: 4764 kB After the patch (or using hashdist=1 on the kernel command line): Node 0 MemTotal: 3407488 kB Node 0 MemFree: 3247608 kB Node 0 MemUsed: 159880 kB Node 0 Active: 3012 kB Node 0 Inactive: 616 kB Node 0 Dirty: 0 kB Node 0 Writeback: 0 kB Node 0 FilePages: 2424 kB Node 0 Mapped: 380 kB Node 0 AnonPages: 1200 kB Node 0 PageTables: 396 kB Node 0 NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Node 0 Bounce: 0 kB Node 0 Slab: 6304 kB Node 0 SReclaimable: 1596 kB Node 0 SUnreclaim: 4708 kB I guess it is a good idea to keep HASHDIST_DEFAULT "on" for x86_64 NUMA since x86_64 has no dearth of vmalloc space? Or maybe enable hash distribution for all 64bit NUMA arches? The following patch does it only for x86_64. I ran a HPC MPI benchmark -- 'Ansys wingsolid', which takes up quite a bit of memory and uses up tlb entries. This was on a 4 way, 2 socket Tyan AMD box (non vsmp), with 8G total memory (4G pernode). The results with and without hash distribution are: 1. Vanilla - runtime of 1188.000s 2. With hashdist=1 runtime of 1154.000s Oprofile output for the duration of run is: 1.
