Each measurement thread's stack and major data structures are allocated from the local memory node. Note that to actually use --numa mode, you must pass NUMA=3D1 to the make build command: $ make NUMA=3D1 This is for all you embedded guys that could care less about NUMA :) Other changes from previous releases are that the hwlatdetect test has been moved to the python site-library (so that other tests can import it) and then symlinked to /usr/bin/hwlatdetect. Also, copyright messages have been updated in the source files (thanks Uwe).=20 Clark --Sig_/VD65l3F.iQiLEE3vtyYxpRe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAktgaKEACgkQHyuj/+TTEp1tZwCgm3OiZRwEFlf0ulesae0nFznM ILYAn372JoaLxroeo5kXzJFD/bFnOP7S =zvDH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/VD65l3F.iQiLEE3vtyYxpRe--
