Actually I didn't. I used Alex Shi's numbers. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/25/39 "Like some machine in my hands, balance points is 16 entries on Romely-EP; while it is at 8 entries on Bloomfield NHM-EP; and is 256 on IVB mobile CPU. but on model 15 core2 Xeon using invlpg has nothing help. For untested machine, do a conservative optimization, same as NHM CPU." -- Seth -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
