Numa policy hit/miss statistics¶
/sys/devices/system/node/node*/numastat
All units are pages. Hugepages have separate counters.
numa_hit | A process wanted to allocate memory from this node, and succeeded. |
numa_miss | A process wanted to allocate memory from another node, but ended up with memory from this node. |
numa_foreign | A process wanted to allocate on this node, but ended up with memory from another one. |
local_node | A process ran on this node and got memory from it. |
other_node | A process ran on this node and got memory from another node. |
interleave_hit | Interleaving wanted to allocate from this node and succeeded. |
For easier reading you can use the numastat utility from the numactl package (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/libnuma/). Note that it only works well right now on machines with a small number of CPUs.
