Intel Vtune Remote DRAM Access

[Sabbir_Ahmed_K_]

Hello Everyone,

I have built an application and run into Haswell machine(Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2670 v3 ). There are 2 sockets in that machine. I run my code into one socket and also allocate memory into that socket only. Then i have done memory access analysis using VTUNE and found that some part of my code accessing Remote DRAM. Then I have used NUMA control policy to fix this issue but there is no improvement.  I don't know the reason why it is showing Remote DRAM access when I run the code into one socket, allocate memory into that socket only. Can anyone giving me suggestion regarding this issue? One more point I run this code into another Haswell machine and found out there is no Remote DRAM access in my code.

Thanks,

Sabbir

Hello,

Could you please give more details how you used the NUMA controlled policy?

Thank you, Regards, Dmitry

Thank you Dmitry for the reply. I have used NUMA controlled policy the following way,

numactl --cpunodebind=0 --membind=0 ./myApp

I include this NUMA controlled policy into a script and from VTUNE I run that script.
