I think the OS scheduler tries to balance the cpu's load avoiding that ipc 
difference.

Hello everyone
I am currently working with parsec+alpha, I have executed some tests using the 
small inputs using two cpus, is it normal to get a very unbalanced ipc? These 
are my results:

For most benchmarks there is a big difference in the ipc between cpus, I would 
think the ipc should be almost the same.
I am using the alpha image provided here http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~parsec_m5/, 
I am using the memory classic model, checkpoints and the launcher scripts 
generated with .rcS Run Script Generator.

Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo
