FreeBSD - hwloc: can't bind memory #329

Open Skayver opened 7 years ago

Skayver commented 7 years ago

I'm trying to use the "xmr-stak-cpu" under the FreeBSD. on different servers for example: CPU: 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 v3 @ 2.60GHz - OS: FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p8 CPU: 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 v3 @ 2.60GHz - OS: reeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p7 CPU: 1 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz - OS: FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p1 CPU: 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220 v3 @ 3.10GHz - OS: FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p1 and other similar to this. Everyone from them gives me a error : hwloc: can't bind memory MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: mlock failed two of my config files: config.txt config2.txt hwloc-ls hwloc-ls.txt

What must be done ?

This means that most likely the kernel does not support mlock and numa. Mlock is usually not a problem as the memory needed is only 2MB per core, numa has around 5% boost, but a lot of newer kernels do it natively.

hwloc is not the one using mlock here, but hwloc doesn't support NUMA on FreeBSD yet anyway. We're working on it, but there are things we don't know how to do yet (e.g. retrieving the amount of memory in each NUMA domain).
