The NUMA access characteristics should give you the info you want - it's
the variation in latency and bandwidth between dies that matters, not that
they are dies.  If you got really bad access characteristics across a die
that info would be equally useful.

I think it is not that this is a die that matters, but rather that there
are groups of Numa nodes with relatively small differences in access
characteristics, then others with much larger variation (and I assume
a layer above that which is inter socket which is even worse).

The info is in HMAT, but the kernel presentation of HMAT is rather limited
currently - so you may want to look at extending what is visible in sysfs
from that table.

Thanks,

Jonathan
