Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4 fix] arm64: add a new document for the fine-tuning tips
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2024 11:23:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241206032343.6357-1-shijie@os.amperecomputing.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241126085647.4993-5-shijie@os.amperecomputing.com>
Put some fine-tuning tips in this file:
1.) rodata=noalias
2.) slab_strict_numa
3.) CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER
We can add more tips in future.

+fine-tuning tips
+================
+
+This file contains some fine-tuning tips for arm64 machines.
+These tips do not gurantee that you can get better performance,
+but you can try them with your workload.
+
+rodata=noalias
+----------------
+It can provide us more block mappings and contiguous hits
+to map the linear region which minimizes the TLB footprint.
+
+slab_strict_numa
+----------------
+In NUMA, it will provide the local memory allocation by SLUB.
+Slab objects will be placed individually according to memory policies.
+Increases object locality which is useful for NUMA systems using SLC caches.
+
+CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER
+----------------
+Some arm64 machines have cpu core clusters, enable it may
+helps you get better performance.
