cputrack is likely to be causing some of that impact. The command is giving you I$ misses in general, I$ misses that hit in L2, and I$ misses that went to memory. Given that apparently bulldozer shares the I$ to some degree
What's plockstat -a showing? (all events, not just contention). I'm not sure blaming the allocator is fair (for a start, it's behaviour would not differ between CPU revisions, so regardless of fault, we're doing something pessimal to that CPU, based on what you've said). -- Rich ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
