|
57043d |
+mmaps a memory region for a given size and sets the numa policy (if specified).
|
|
|
57043d |
+It then updates the memory region for the given number of iterations using memset.

|
|
57043d |
+.TP
|
|
|
57043d |
+.B interleave
|
|
|
57043d |
+Memory will be allocated using round robin on nodes. When
|
|
|
57043d |
+memory cannot be allocated on the current interleave, target fall back
|
|
|
57043d |
+to other nodes. Multiple nodes may be specified.

|
|
57043d |
+.TP
|
|
|
57043d |
+.B membind
|
|
|
57043d |
+Only allocate memory from nodes. Allocation will fail
|
|
|
57043d |
+when there is not enough memory available on these nodes. Multiple
|
|
|
57043d |
+nodes may be specified.

|
|
57043d |
+.TP
|
|
|
57043d |
+.B preferred
|
|
|
57043d |
+Preferably allocate memory on node, but if memory cannot be
|
|
|
57043d |
+allocated there fall back to other nodes. This option takes only a
|
|
|
57043d |
+single node number.

+.TP
|
|
|
57043d |
+.B default
|
|
|
57043d |
+Memory will be allocated on the local node (the node the
|
|
|
57043d |
+thread is running on)
