From: Leonid Bloch <lbloch@janustech.com>

The upper limit on the L2 cache size is increased from 1 MB to 32 MB
|
|
|
26ba25 |
on Linux platforms, and to 8 MB on other platforms (this difference is
|
|
|
26ba25 |
caused by the ability to set intervals for cache cleaning on Linux
|
|
|
26ba25 |
platforms only).
|
|
|
26ba25 |
|
|
|
26ba25 |
This is done in order to allow default full coverage with the L2 cache
|
|
|
26ba25 |
for images of up to 256 GB in size (was 8 GB). Note, that only the
|
|
|
26ba25 |
needed amount to cover the full image is allocated. The value which is
|
|
|
26ba25 |
changed here is just the upper limit on the L2 cache size, beyond which
|
|
|
26ba25 |
it will not grow, even if the size of the image will require it to.
