Subject: [PATCH] adjust p4 per-cpu gain
Date: Mon, 02 Aug 2004 13:12:28 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <410DB11C.9000903@kolivas.org> (raw)


[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 574 bytes --]

The smt-nice handling patch is a little too aggressive by not estimating 
the per cpu gain as high enough for pentium4 hyperthread. This patch 
changes the per sibling cpu gain from 15% to 25%. The true per cpu gain 
is entirely dependant on the workload but overall the 2 species of 
Pentium4 that support hyperthreading have about 20-30% gain.

Patch for 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 attached.

Signed-off-by: Con Kolivas <kernel@kolivas.org>

P.S: Anton - For the power processors that are now using this SMT nice 
infrastructure it would be worth setting this value separately at 40%.
