SMP Squid has cpu_affinity_map to accomplish similar task. However, it does not apply to helpers AFAIK. Also, be careful not to assign two busy Squid workers to two _sibling_ hyper cores. Give them hyper-cores on different physical cores instead. > so i can keep the kernel and other program running on first cpu not > interfere with squid I do not know of a good solution to that. The solution I know is to tell each active process or kernel task (e.g., NIC interrupts processing) where to run, which is tedious when you have more than one or two such activities to worry about. > cause wen i run Calamaris Log Analysis on cpl large log it take cpu % very > hi and it slow delay squid performance until it finish :( Yes, it can be a real problem. AFAICT, the previous responses on this thread essentially ignore the [sad] fact that Linux kernels are not very good at CPU scheduling in high-performance SMP Squid environments.
