Intel's Sub-NUMA Clustering Support Linux Patches Spun A 19th Time
The past year there's been a big Linux kernel patch series in the work by Intel to improve Sub-NUMA Clustering 'SNC' support so it behaves well with Intel Resource Director Technology (RDT) on modern Intel hardware
The 19th iteration of these SNC patches are quite light on alterations that give hope this work might finally be ready soon for merging into the Linux kernel. SNC in splitting of the CPU cores / cache / memory into multiple NUMA domains can help enhance the performance of NUMA-aware workloads. Those interested in pairing SNC on RDT-enabled servers can find the v19 patches for now on the Linux kernel mailing list.
