Hi all: I'm wondering about interrupts distribution in Linux kernel, lets say i'm running Linux on a dual core processor, then Linux will distribute incoming interrupts between these two cores (processors) lets say also i'm running a service that uses nearly equal cpu/io/network time like a proxy that has many things to check in the content before issue an IO command to HDs or to network interface the question is, is it better to let all IO/network interrupts be routed to CPU0 and assign CPU1 to run the service user-level process ? or let Linux handles it if Linux can do it more efficiently and what is the side effect of such partitioning on high IO/network interrupts on CPU0? In general, is manual interrupt/cpu assignment on SMP machine a good or a bad idea?
