Message-ID: <1991Jun20.151803.170@and.cs.liv.ac.uk> Date: 20 Jun 91 15:18:02 GMT Organization: Computer Science, University of Liverpool, UK Lines: 12 Nntp-Posting-Host: di8 Originator: djn@di8Lines: 13 According to the manual Software Lookaside Buffers may help the performance of Precision Architecture Machines with small Hardware TLBs. Perhaps someone from HP would give an assessment of the adequacy of the TLB on the HP-635. Suggested values for the 'nstlbe' kernel config parameter would also be welcolmed. Thanks in advance DaveN. --------------------------------- | Email: nixon@and.cs.liv.ac.uk | ---------------------------------
