SMP and device drivers performance

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is not clear to me the (inner) behaviour of kernel on a SMP machine.
Does kernel take advantage running on SMP?
For example, a NIC driver runs on a processor and another module runs on
another processor?
I wonder if is it possible to make parallel computing in a kernel module.

Thanks in advance,
Roberto.
