Hi , Me and my friends are working on a new concept. Idea is to run different kernels on different cores in a multicore architecture. Each kernel is performing logically different tasks. We believe to improve the cache performance and reduce cpu idle time. This concept can be applied to filers , graphics processing systems , embedded systems. Our implementation is on Intel core 2 duo machine. So far our implementation includes running two kernels simultaneously (one on each core) , handling hard-disk on one core and ethernet on another core so as to divide the network and disk subsystem. But here we are unable to measure the performance. Can u please suggest any method to measure the performance in terms of throughput and response time? Thank you. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-smp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
