Numatop uses autotools. If you're compiling from git, run autogen.sh
and then make. Otherwise, use ./configure && make.
To install, run sudo make install.
To run the test program, run make check after compilation or check
the mgen program for help information.
NumaTOP requires following libraries:
- numactl-devel or libnuma-dev(el)
- libncurses
- libpthread
The recommended kernel version is the latest stable kernel, currently 4.15.
The minimum kernel version supported is 3.16
For Haswell supporting, please also apply a perf patch on 3.16. The patch
is kernel_patches/0001-perf-x86-Widen-Haswell-OFFCORE-mask.patch.
The patch can also be found at following link: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1964864
common: common code for all platforms.
intel : Intel platform-specific code.
powerpc: PowerPC platform-specific code.
test : mgen source code. mgen is a micro-test application which can generate memory access with runtime latency value among CPUs. Note that this application is only used for numatop testing!
kernel_patches: the required kernel patches.
numatop is supported on Intel Xeon processors: 5500-series, 6500/7500-series, 5600 series, E7-x8xx-series, and E5-16xx/24xx/26xx/46xx-series.
E5-16xx/24xx/26xx/46xx-series had better be updated to latest CPU microcode (microcode must be 0x618+ or 0x70c+).
