Re: [Xen-devel] about the VM's memory distribution on numa nodes

["butian huang" <11221079@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hello Dario,

My question is about the virtual machine's memory distribution,I want to get 
the information from guest os.
For example,when the VM has intalled the Win7 or Redhat,how to get the memory 
distribution? 
And if know this,then the application on the OS can optimize the performance 
and access the affinity node.
