The kernel Memory Affinity Framework (kMAF)

KMAF is a mechanism to perform automatic thread and data mapping in shared-memory systems.

Installation

Install kMAF as a new kernel, e.g.:

 $ make
 $ make install

Rename your binary that you want kMAF to handle so that it ends with .x:

 $ ./app.x

Everything else is automatic.

The main publications regarding kMAF are:
