I have no concerns about its stability, but I do want to see general agreement that this is the way to proceed, although of course it may need enhancements/tuning later on. In terms of performace testing results I believe everything has been positive except for some testing which Andi did on the STREAM benchmark. My question is: to what extent have the ia64 NUMA architectural people reviewed this code, and what is the risk that someone will come along in six months time saying we need to rip it all out? Thanks.
