=20 Our node distances are a bit arbitrary (I make them up based on information given to us in the device tree). In terms of memory we have a maximum of three levels. To give some gross estimates, on chip memory might be 30GB/sec, on node memory 10-15GB/sec and off node memory 5GB/sec. =20 The only thing we tweak with node distances is to make sure we go into node reclaim before going off node: =20 /* * Before going off node we want the VM to try and reclaim from the local * node.

40 40 40 40 40 40 40 20 20 20 10 0 0 0 0=20 That looks very strange indeed.. up to node 23 there is the normal symmetric matrix with all the trace elements on 10 (as we would expect for local access), and some 4x4 sub-matrix stacked around the trace with 20, suggesting a single hop distance, and the rest on 40 being out-there. But row 24-27 and column 28-31 are way weird, how can that ever be? Aren't the inter-connects symmetric and thus mandating a fully symmetric matrix? That is, how can traffic from node 23 (row) to node 28 (column) have inf bandwidth (0) yet traffic from node 28 (row) to node 23 (column) have a multi-hop distance of 40. So the idea I had to generate numa sched domains from the node distance ( http://marc.info/?l=3Dlinux-kernel&m=3D130218515520540 ), would that stil= l work for you?
