NAME
     replication - Memory replication

DESCRIPTION
     This document describes kernel text replication, the memory replication
     system available on Origin systems.

     The code for IRIX is replicated during the booting procedure, according
     to the ratio specified by the tunable numa_kernel_replication_ratio in
     /var/sysgen/mtune/numa.  There is always a copy on the master node, and
     for a ratio n, copies are made on every n of the other nodes. 0 means no
     copies. The default value is 1, which causes copies of the kernel text to
     be made on every node.
