Hmm, this seems to be contrary to my theoretical expectations. I thought that with 4BSD all threads that were not in one of the following categories: - temporary pinned - bound to cpu in kernel via sched_bind - belong to a cpu set which a strict subset of a total set were placed onto a common queue that was shared by all cpus. And as such I expected them to get picked up by the cpus semi-randomly. In other words, I thought that it was ULE that took into account cpu/cache affinities while 4BSD was deliberately entirely ignorant of those details. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
