From e5ecc192dfc5e0b325dd8c99ce4c755714c9acbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 18:23:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IA64] Setup an IA64 specific reclaim distance RECLAIM_DISTANCE is checked on bootup against the SLIT table distances. Zone reclaim is important for system that have higher latencies but not for systems that have multiple nodes on one motherboard and therefore low latencies. We found that on motherboard latencies are typically 1 to 1.4 of local memory access speed whereas multinode systems which benefit from zone reclaim have usually more than 1.5 times the latency of a local access. Set the reclaim distance for IA64 to 1.5 times.
