Chapter 6. Scheduling NUMA-aware workloads
Learn about NUMA-aware scheduling and how you can use it to deploy high performance workloads in an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
NUMA-aware scheduling is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.
The NUMA Resources Operator allows you to schedule high-performance workloads in the same NUMA zone. It deploys a node resources exporting agent that reports on available cluster node NUMA resources, and a secondary scheduler that manages the workloads.
6.1. About NUMA-aware scheduling Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) is a compute platform architecture that allows different CPUs to access different regions of memory at different speeds. NUMA resource topology refers to the locations of CPUs, memory, and PCI devices relative to each other in the compute node. Co-located resources are said to be in the same NUMA zone. For high-performance applications, the cluster needs to process pod workloads in a single NUMA zone.
NUMA architecture allows a CPU with multiple memory controllers to use any available memory across CPU complexes, regardless of where the memory is located. This allows for increased flexibility at the expense of performance. A CPU processing a workload using memory that is outside its NUMA zone is slower than a workload processed in a single NUMA zone. Also, for I/O-constrained workloads, the network interface on a distant NUMA zone slows down how quickly information can reach the application. High-performance workloads, such as telecommunications workloads, cannot operate to specification under these conditions. NUMA-aware scheduling aligns the requested cluster compute resources (CPUs, memory, devices) in the same NUMA zone to process latency-sensitive or high-performance workloads efficiently. NUMA-aware scheduling also improves pod density per compute node for greater resource efficiency.
The default OpenShift Container Platform pod scheduler scheduling logic considers the available resources of the entire compute node, not individual NUMA zones. If the most restrictive resource alignment is requested in the kubelet topology manager, error conditions can occur when admitting the pod to a node. Conversely, if the most restrictive resource alignment is not requested, the pod can be admitted to the node without proper resource alignment, leading to worse or unpredictable performance. For example, runaway pod creation with Topology Affinity Error statuses can occur when the pod scheduler makes suboptimal scheduling decisions for guaranteed pod workloads by not knowing if the pod’s requested resources are available. Scheduling mismatch decisions can cause indefinite pod startup delays. Also, depending on the cluster state and resource allocation, poor pod scheduling decisions can cause extra load on the cluster because of failed startup attempts.
The NUMA Resources Operator deploys a custom NUMA resources secondary scheduler and other resources to mitigate against the shortcomings of the default OpenShift Container Platform pod scheduler. The following diagram provides a high-level overview of NUMA-aware pod scheduling.

- NodeResourceTopology API
-
The
NodeResourceTopologyAPI describes the available NUMA zone resources in each compute node. - NUMA-aware scheduler
-
The NUMA-aware secondary scheduler receives information about the available NUMA zones from the
NodeResourceTopologyAPI and schedules high-performance workloads on a node where it can be optimally processed. - Node topology exporter
-
The node topology exporter exposes the available NUMA zone resources for each compute node to the
NodeResourceTopologyAPI. The node topology exporter daemon tracks the resource allocation from the kubelet by using thePodResourcesAPI. - PodResources API
-
The
PodResourcesAPI is local to each node and exposes the resource topology and available resources to the kubelet.

Troubleshoot problems with the NUMA-aware scheduler by reviewing the logs. If required, you can increase the scheduler log level by modifying the spec.logLevel field of the NUMAResourcesScheduler resource. Acceptable values are Normal, Debug, and Trace, with Trace being the most verbose option.
To change the log level of the secondary scheduler, delete the running scheduler resource and re-deploy it with the changed log level. The scheduler is unavailable for scheduling new workloads during this downtime.

6.6.3. Correcting a missing resource topology exporter config map Link kopierenLink in die Zwischenablage kopiert!
If you install the NUMA Resources Operator in a cluster with misconfigured cluster settings, in some circumstances, the Operator is shown as active but the logs of the resource topology exporter (RTE) daemon set pods show that the configuration for the RTE is missing, for example:
Info: couldn't find configuration in "/etc/resource-topology-exporter/config.yaml"
Info: couldn't find configuration in "/etc/resource-topology-exporter/config.yaml"
This log message indicates that the kubeletconfig with the required configuration was not properly applied in the cluster, resulting in a missing RTE configmap. For example, the following cluster is missing a numaresourcesoperator-worker configmap custom resource (CR):
oc get configmap
$ oc get configmap
Example output
NAME DATA AGE 0e2a6bd3.openshift-kni.io 0 6d21h kube-root-ca.crt 1 6d21h openshift-service-ca.crt 1 6d21h topo-aware-scheduler-config 1 6d18h

In a correctly configured cluster, oc get configmap also returns a numaresourcesoperator-worker configmap CR.
