Hi, I'm running Solaris 10 update 2 on Ultra 10 that has 440MHz USIIi CPU. When I run 'trapstat -T' I notice that Solaris kernel is mainly using 8k pages and about 9% of the time is spent on handling TLB misses in the kernel.
I've set the following variables in /etc/profile to force userland applications to use 64k pages LD_PRELOAD=mpss.so.1 MPSSHEAP=64K MPSSSTACK=64K export LD_PRELOAD MPSSHEAP MPSSSTACK I'm not sure if USIIi has a 16 or 64 entry TLB, but I figure the less time is spent on TLB misses the better. Is there a way to force kernel to use 64k pages instead of 8k?
