Subject: [PATCH 0 of 2] credit2: Reduce excessive cpu migration
Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2010 17:55:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patchbomb.1291917315@gdunlap-desktop> (raw)

More recent processors have one L2 per core.  My plan for the credit2
scheduler invovled having several cores sharing the same runqueue.

I've measured the cost of excessive cross-L2 intra-L3 migrations, and while
they're not excessive, they are measurable.  This patch series introduces
some simple heuristics to reduce unnecessary migration.

As in all the Credit2 work, this is a first cut, and I'm sure there are
further improvments.
