Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the invention provide a method for assigning a home node to a file system object and using information associated with file system objects to improve locality of reference during thread execution. Doing so may improve application performance on a computer system configured using a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) architecture. Thus, embodiments of the invention allow a computer system to create a nodal affinity between a given file system object and a given processing node.
