When RAM access becomes a bottle neck for games and desktop applications, what is the next step?<BR/><BR/>The operating systems will need to provide NUMA features to applications.Lars Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217303713945608384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434108347727659251.post-52786743725091638892009-01-16T09:40:00.000+01:002009-01-16T09:40:00.000+01:00Lars you'd like this:http://www.datamuseum.dk/site...Lars you'd like this:<BR/><BR/>http://www.datamuseum.dk/site_dk/dde/brocurer/supermax_th.pdf<BR/><BR/>"Maximum 256 MB of memory per CPU, in 1 MB increments, up to 8 CPUs, Unix System V"<BR/><BR/>Life is a cycle and everything returns :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434108347727659251.post-25140009811770291372009-01-15T23:18:00.000+01:002009-01-15T23:18:00.000+01:00I'm not sure that there will be much preparation a...I'm not sure that there will be much preparation available to a standard developer. Most of the NUMA architecture is hidden by the OS. I suppose it is arguable where or not that's a good thing, but the complexity involved in maintaining cache coherence probably requires it remain there.Marshall Frymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996248168525053524noreply@blogger.com
