I suggest to read this article: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-completely-fair-scheduler/ IMO, it will give you quite good understanding of Complete Fair scheduler, the current Linux kernel scheduler. CFS, also the the older schedulers, manage the way task balancing works in SMP case. I hope it helps... -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
