Thanks, a test of v10 would also be appreciated. The differences between
V7 and V10 are small but do include a change in how migrate rate-limiting
is handled. It is unlikely it'll make a difference to this test but I'd
like to rule it out.

What kernel is this? The name begins with 3.7-rc3 but then says
v37rc7. v37rc7 of what? I thought it might be v3.7-rc7 but it already said
it's 3.7-rc3 so I'm confused. Would it be possible to base the tests on
a similar baseline kernel such as 3.7.0-rc7 or 3.7.0-rc8? The
balancenuma patches should apply and the autonuma patches can be taken
from the mm-autonuma-v28fastr4-mels-rebase branch in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma.git

Either way, the figures look bad. I'm trying to find a similar machine
but initially at least I have not had much luck. Can you post the .config
you used for balancenuma in case I can reproduce the problem on a 4-node
machine please? Are all the nodes the same size?

Thanks!
