Asking this same question from Intel (Arjan van de Ven
While I can enable it and watch it distribute IRQs, I came across the irqbalance website and thought it a good idea to try irqbalance-0.55.tar.gz out.
I can compile and run it alright, but only for short periods of time, it gets terminated before long, without any ( at least I found none ) indication why this should be so.
you have a single socket system where the cores share the L2 cache. For these systems dynamic irq balancing isn't really the right approach; they don't really have need. What irqbalance 0.55 will do is set up a static spread of the interrupts over the 2 cores, and then exit to avoid wasting CPU cycles. This should provide the best possible behavior on your system..." So it seems OK to run the service also for dual core single socket systems, as all it will do ( and does for me ) is setting up a statistical distribution and quit. In /etc/init.d/irq_balancer change " if [ $PHYS -gt 1 ] || [ $PROC -gt 1 -a $PHYS -eq 0 ] ; then" to " if [ $PROC -gt 1 ] ; then" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
