> > How do I get gcc to use hugepages, for instance?"large" pages, or "super" pages perhaps ... but Linux "huge" pages seem pretty hard to adapt for generic use by applications. They are generally a somewhere between a bit too big (2MB on X86) to way too big (64MB, 256MB, 1GB or 4GB on ia64) for general use. Right now they also suffer from making the sysadmin pick at boot time how much memory to allocate as huge pages (while it is possible to break huge pages into normal pages, going in the reverse direction requires a memory defragmenter that doesn't exist). Making an application use huge pages as heap may be simple (just link with a different library to provide with a different version of malloc()) ... code, stack, mmap'd files are all a lot harder to do transparently. -Tony --
