Subject: [PATCHv2 06/12] node: Add heterogenous memory performance
Heterogeneous memory systems provide memory nodes with different latency
and bandwidth performance attributes. Create an interface for the kernel
to register the attributes for the primary memory initiators under the
memory node. If the system provides this information, applications can
then query the node attributes when deciding which node to request memory.
The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy for a node exporting
performance attributes:
# tree /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/primary_initiator_access
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/primary_initiator_access
|-- read_bandwidth
|-- read_latency
|-- write_bandwidth
`-- write_latency
The bandwidth is exported as MB/s and latency is reported in nanoseconds.
Memory accesses from an initiator node that is not one of the memory's
primary compute nodes may encounter a performance penalty that does not
match the performance reported for primary memory initiators.
As an example of what you may be able to do with this, let's say we have
a PCIe storage device, /dev/nvme0n1, attached to a particular node, and
we want to run IO to it using the fastest memory with primary access
from the same node as that PCIe device. The following shell script is
such an example to achieve that goal:
#!/bin/bash
DEV_NODE=/sys/devices/system/node/node$(cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/device/device/numa_node)
BEST_WRITE_BW=0
BEST_MEM_NODE=0
for i in $(ls -d ${DEV_NODE}/primary_target*); do
tmp=$(cat ${i}/primary_initiator_access/write_bandwidth);
if ((${tmp} > ${BEST_WRITE_BW})); then
BEST_WRITE_BW=${tmp}
BEST_MEM_NODE=$(echo ${i} | sed s/^.*primary_target//g)
fi
done
numactl --membind=${BEST_MEM_NODE} \
--cpunodebind=$(cat ${DEV_NODE}/primary_cpu_nodelist) \
-- fio --filename=/dev/nvme0n1 --bs=4k --name=access-test
