Numa Setting

What is a Numa

Simplly said, Numa has a share memory charachtoristic.
Numa node means share the same pool of memory.
So if a process running in same Numa node, it will get better performance.
Let's see it.

Check Server Numa Node

To get Numa node

[root@openstackha11 ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/node/
has_cpu            node0/             possible
has_memory         node1/             power/
has_normal_memory  online             uevent

To get Numa node's CPU

[root@openstackha11 ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpulist
0-5,12-17

[root@openstackha11 ~]# cat /sys/devices/system/node/node1/cpulist
6-11,18-23

Set Numa for a Process

Set up a Process to a CPU range(Numa Node)

[root@openstackha11 ~]# taskset -cp 6-11,18-23 24122
pid 24122's current affinity list: 0-23
pid 24122's new affinity list: 6-11,18-23
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

where 6-11,18-23 obtained by numa node.
