Re: Lock contention high

Hi,

How many sockets are on motherboard?
What is CPU model and interconnect type (UPI?)?
Can you share output of "lscpu"?

If you have more than 1 NUMA node it may be worth to run PostgreSQL in
single NUMA node via taskset. It will eliminate access to remote memory
and speed up processing.

Thanks,
 Michael.
