Hi, If you can package up some kind of test or analogous workload that I can run, I'd be happy to take a look at profiling it on MP hardware. Should be possible. Btw. Has setting kern.threads.virtual_cpu to a different value effect for running programms or just started ones ? P.S. I assum

Hi, It would be really great if we could find "workload owners" who would maintain easy-to-run benchmark configurations and also run them regularly on a fixed hardware configuration over a long time publishing results and testing patches. Kris has done this for SQL benchmarks to great effect

It looks as if you've hit a device driver that is trying to print out a null string. The message you've given doesn't provide any more information than that. If you install a snapshot kernel it will probably have ddb compiled in which will allow you to at least get a backtrace. I'm sorry you're ha
