It should also #includ... 11 Mar 2010 13:25

While testing an application using the xpmem (out of kernel) driver, we noticed a significant page fault rate reduction of x86_64 with respect to ia64. For one test running with 32 cpus, one thread per cpu, it took 01:08 for each of the threads to vm_insert_pfn 2GB worth of pages. For the same test running on 25... 11 Mar 2010 12:17
