    [SOLVED] NUMA hostnodes and affinity

    I am seeing a guest core able to execute outside its numa node. Eg. loading up guest cores 0-7 (which are mapped to node0) results in utilising host cores 32,35,45,47,48,49,52,55 which are across 3 different nodes. How can I get the host NUMA arch to be correctly reflected in the guest? Guest...

    AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - NUMA or not?

    Hi, Sorry for this dumb question, but I feel a bit confused. As far as I understood all Zen2 like CPU's are NUMA based, so in case of AMD Ryzen, Epyc, etc, they all have "numa support". When creating a new VM, Proxmox allows me to select up to 4 Sockets (which again indicates NUMA support)...

    Enabling Numa

    Hi, I was looking at the docs about enabling NUMA because I have dual Xeon E5-2650 v2 processors on a dell R720 server. I have searched everywhere to find a good guide to enable NUMA according to the number of nodes and sockets. Anyone has tried it and could help? Cheers,

    NUMA and cores per sockets + memory size

    As far as I understand, when using multiprocessor boards based on Proxmox, you need to use NUMA in virtual machines. Are there any recommendations for enabling NUMA in virtual machines? Perhaps depending on a certain amount of RAM and the number of cores? In what types of machines is it better...

    NUMA questions

    Hi all, There is an option to select NUMA when you configure a VM's CPU. While I know the basic NUMA concepts, I don't really understand what this checkbox does. So, I have a few questions about it and an application that might benefit from enabling NUMA. Starting from the App, I have a VM that...

    Is 12+36GB on a dual socket server clever or stupid regarding NUMA optimization?

    I'm not a virtualization newbie but still have to learn a lot about Proxmox/KVM/QEMU. So please bear with me. After searching all kinds of wikis, forums and mailing lists I still have difficulties to understand if the following advanced configuration doesn't work because it's nonsense or because...

    Best Practice for NUMA?

    I have a few dual socket servers and want to know how best to configure VMs. Should VMs always have NUMA enabled and have CPU sockets set to the number of physical sockets? Some VMs only need a single socket and single core, these should have NUMA enabled too? Some VMs only need two cores, is...
