64KiB pages
configname: CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB
MMU page size
└─>64KiB pages
In linux kernel since version 2.6.12
Using 64KiB page size will result in slightly higher performance
kernel at the price of much higher memory consumption compared to
4KiB or 16KiB pages.
This is not suitable for general-purpose workloads but the
better performance may be worth the cost for certain types of
supercomputing or database applications that work mostly with
large in-memory data rather than small files.
