A quick update on this.
It seem that the numactl shipped with suse9.0 doesn't work for --cpubind= - it simply ignores this option. However if I remove this and install the one shipped with SLES8-SP3 it does work. This is for the shipped '2.4.21-193-smp' kernel
In all cases though /usr/bin/numademo reports: "your system does not support the numa API." I am looking through the source now.
Also all the other options ( --membind, --localalloc, --interleave, --homenode) fail with: "numactl: this system does not support NUMA policy" presumably after check_numa() calls numa_available() which in turn calls numa_homenode()
Yes, that is what I wrote in my first mail: the 2.4 NUMA API was an experimental kernel patch that was never included in any production kernel. -Andi
