That definitely seems incorrect to me. Since rebalance is only called
on mach0, as it loops through the global run queue, it will skip
processes that are not on mach0, so I think you are correct. (This was
fixed on the mqs version of the nix scheduler; every mach calls
rebalance to take care of the
+1 what Yoann said. :-) On SMP systems, all maches share a global run
queue, and maches tend to try grabbing procs that have run on it
before (affinity). Take a look at port/proc.c in particular, where a
lot of the scheduling logic is implemented.

Just curious, is this not a thing in the nix kernel? grep'd the nix
sources and it didn't seem to be in devarch.c, it's in 9/pc/ though;
is there another way to grab cpu temp?
I ask because there seems to be a significant temperature change on my
test machine between the old nix kernel and some of

Congratulations Yan! Best of luck to you. :-)

Hello all,
I realize it's probably a bit early to be asking, but I'm curious if Plan 9
will be applying to participate in this year's GSoC. I'd definitely be
interested in participating as a student!
Thanks!
Jessica.
