Is v8.3 NUMA aware?
-
I was rebooting my servers due to the patches released last week and I notice that the BIOS in my server was not set to interleave the memory. Since I have symmetric memory sticks, it seems like it should be set to interleave. However, the BIOS does say that for NUMA aware OSs, that interleaving should be left to the OS. I don't recall now, and my notes don't say, if I intentionally left interleaving off because v8.2 I was installing at the time was NUMA aware.
Memory interleaving on a Dell R630: on or off?
During the last patch I turned on interleaving for my R730xd (without reading the help that says not to do it with NUMA aware OSs) and it feels faster to me, but I didn't do any real testing so that could be wishful thinking bias. It certainly doesn't seem to have hurt performance.
