I've been meaning to run some tests on a single socket thunderX next week once I wrap up some linux testing I am doing. i would like to see the dual-socket thunderX supported as well, although until FreeBSD has more robust NUMA support I would expect it to be sub-optimal when compared to linux performance wise. iirc there is a bunch of NUMA work going into 11 so hopefully that day isn't too far off. cheers, -pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org
