I would like to propose creation of a new project titled "Solaris
Enhancements for AMD-based Platforms".
The project will address various features that are specific to platforms
based on AMD processors, such as
- IOMMU support
- NUMA topology, particularly how it affects IO performance
- Observability (performance counters, instruction-based
sampling)
- Power management
- RAS features
- New instruction support, new CPUID features
Since what's described above covers fairly diverse range of subjects,
the proposed project will serve as an umbrella for sub-projects, each of
them covering a particular area related to improving Solaris behavior on
systems built around AMD processors (as well as chipsets and graphics
components)
I think this project would be of interest to a number of OpenSolaris
communities but I am asking the performance community for sponsorship as
it appears to be the most relevant.
Thanks.
