1 2 Numa policy hit/miss statistics 3 4 /sys/devices/system/node/node*/numastat 5 6 All units are pages. Hugepages have separate counters. 7 8 numa_hit A process wanted to allocate memory from this node, 9 and succeeded. 10 numa_miss A process wanted to allocate memory from this node, 11 but ended up with memory from another. 12 numa_foreign A process wanted to allocate on another node, 13 but ended up with memory from this one. 14 local_node A process ran on this node and got memory from it. 15 other_node A process ran on this node and got memory from another node. 16 interleave_hit Interleaving wanted to allocate from this node 17 and succeeded. 18 19 For easier reading you can use the numastat utility from the numactl package 20 (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ak/numa/numactl*). Note that it only works 21 well right now on machines with a small number of CPUs.
