[$] Weighted memory interleaving and new system calls

Fri, 19 Apr 2024 14:12:55 +0000

Description:
Gregory Price recently posted a patch set that adds support for weighted 
memory interleaving  allowing a
process's memory to be distributed between non-uniform memory access (NUMA)
nodes in a more controlled way.
According to his performance measurements, the patch set could provide a
significant improvement for computers with network-attached memory.
The patch set also
introduces new system calls and paves the way for future extensions
intended to give processes more control over their own memory.
