hi,
I dont claim to understand this benchmark, but I'm now getting this:

$ ./perf bench numa all
# Running numa/mem benchmark...

SNIP

 ###
 # 1 task will execute (on 1 nodes, 4 CPUs):
 #         -1x     1MB global  shared mem operations
 #         -1x     0MB process shared mem operations
 #         -1x     0MB thread  local  mem operations
 ###
...


'-1x' does not seem right/intentional for default case

thanks,
jirka
