pgerassi, latencies and north bridges. Good point, the impact of the latencies would depend on the packet size. And yes, considering the alternative is to page it off a disk, even a highly hierarchal NUMA system will be better than that, latency speaking. I would assume that code would get paged in from non-local resources, otherwise the performance hit would be terrible on smaller cache processors. Is this a settable parameter on at least some NUMA systems? I know that the latencies can get quite high with some of the systems with thousands of processors. The specifications of LDT (regular and crispy) look real good. I can't wait to see actual hardware and how it works in the real world...
