Note that capacity is in fact a better term -- not to be confused with the capacity as currently in use within the load-balancer. Luckily there's no way to read that an not be confused.. uhmm :-) > > The first goal, though, is to make sure that the scheduler can handle > different cpu_power values due to asymmetric cores. I would think the very first goal was to do a simple packing balancer before doing silly things with asymmetric setups.. but what do I know. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
