Subject: P4 SMP load balancing
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2001 04:28:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <002601c15300$3a9f0510$150a10ac@gearboxsoftware.com> (raw)
I posted this a while back in linux-smp (which seems like a dead list?)
I have several P4 Xeon SMP systems (Supermicro P4DCE, Intel i860
chipset)
ovendev:~# cat /proc/interrupts

How much of a problem is this really? The program's I am
running on these systems (I have 9 of them) seem do ok right now.
Currently the jobs running on them are heavily CPU bound and don't do
any I/O, but this is going to change when I link them up over a private
network so they can work together on some distributable jobs). I am
running 2.4.10 on most of them, and 2.4.10-ac10 on my developer system
in the farm. The only difference this newer kernel seems to have made
from older ones is that there is only one 'warning unexpected IO-APIC'
message in my startup instead of two.
Snippet from dmesg:
CPU1: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1700MHz stepping 0a
Total of 2 processors activated (6723.99 BogoMIPS).
