From 06917f753547e6bba8a5d17f79971d1c071a70dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Jiang Date: Tue, 19 May 2015 16:45:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] NTB: Improve performance with write combining Changing the memory window BAR mappings to write combining significantly boosts the performance. We will also use memcpy that uses non-temporal store, which showed performance improvement when doing non-cached memcpys.
