You need to have to some hugepage configured:
- edit /etc/sysctl.conf
- add vm.nr_hugepages = 256
- reload: sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf
- sudo mkdir -p /mnt/huge
- edit /etc/fstab
- add none /mnt/huge hugetlbfs defaults 0 0
- sudo mount -a
And have qemu installed (>= 2.5) Then run tests: (may take a long time):
- make check
If you want to run benchmarks:
$ ./configure --with-benchmarks
$ make
$ make bench
