Thread-Aware Mechanism to Enhance Inter-Node Load Balancing for Multithreaded Applications on NUMA Systems

NUMA multi-core systems divide system resources into several nodes. When an imbalance in the load between cores occurs, the kernel scheduler’s load balancing mechanism then migrates threads between cores or across NUMA nodes. Remote memory access is required for a thread to access memory on the prev...
