I don't want to blow up the OS interference discussion too much, so I'll just refer you to the slides I shared or the classic 2003 paper, https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1592958. Short form: 2048 4-cpu alpha systems, quadrics interconnect, had lpd running. lpd woke up every 30s to realize it

NIX this evening. Test on 4 core laptop. fshalt -r does not end well on my laptop; it's the usual issue with drivers not dealing that well with a warm reset, and hardware being hard. So: I modified bootrc to drop me into rc before it starts mounting file systems and such. I added execac to the im

Two questions I am wondering about: 1. Is this still limited to x86 only, as I think was suggested on an earlier thread related to this effort, or has it been generalized to work across other CPU architectures? 2. As this evidently needs to be "enabled" by configuring processors to act as A

Frank, while NIX is limited to x86, for now, the four key functions are pretty compact, and I'm planning to get it working on other architectures, or help others interested, as interest allows. I've got no love for the x86 and the x86 vendors at this point. In terms of whether NIX goes into 9front

very interesting. is this interference metric normalized taking the efficiency of the system into account? e.g. if on one platform 2x as much work is done (for example because the core frequency is doubled), i wouldn't be surprised if absolute interference doubles, but in relation to the work being

Sorry for the stream of consciousness that follows (kinda or I wouldn’t post it)Generally, on time slicing systems you cannot simply assign threads to cores 1:1 and expect to get the best efficiency for a long running process.  Usually your wall clock times end up being reduced by oversubscribing C
