Figure 13. Both Write-Only Threads Running on Node 0 (Different Cores) under
Medium Background Load (High Subscription)
Figure 14. Both Write-Only Threads Running on Node 0 (Different Cores) under High
Background Load (High Subscription)
As shown in Figure 15 below, the advantage disappears at very high loads and the 0 hop-1 hop case
becomes slower than the 0 hop-0 hop case.
becomes slower than the 0 hop-0 hop case.
