Robin, Thanks for running all those benchmarks. On 11/2/05, Robin Holt <holt@sgi.com> wrote: > Does anybody have any objections to making 4 level the default? My concern is that 4-level PT really isn't needed on ia64 for all but the largest machines and adding a 4-th level cannot possibly help performance and definitely has a (small) cost. I see that you have a CONFIG option now, which is good. I don't have a strong opinion what should be the default. Longer term, it would be good to settle on one implementation, so perhaps it's not a bad idea to make 4-level the default and see if anyone complains about performance regressions. --david -- Mosberger Consulting LLC, voice/fax: 510-744-9372, http://www.mosberger-consulting.com/ 35706 Runckel Lane, Fremont, CA 94536 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Thu Nov 03 05:59:39 2005
