Ok, here's where I am with this. I'm currently using the Audiophile for the sake of simplicity (I'm assuming that if the Audiophile works properly, the Delta 66 probably will too). /dev/sndstat, at maximum verbosity, looks like: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm: 64bit 2009061500/amd64) Installed dev

Intel TurboBoost in practice

2010-07-24 Thread Alexander Motin
Hi. I've make small observations of Intel TurboBoost technology under FreeBSD. This technology allows Intel Core i5/i7 CPUs to rise frequency of some cores if other cores are idle and power/thermal conditions permit. CPU core counted as idle, if it has been put into C3 or deeper power state (may r

pageout question

2010-07-24 Thread Andriy Gapon
There is a good deal of comments in the vm_pageout.c code that imply that we use a hysteresis approach to deal with low available pages condition. Evidence 1: /* * v_free_target and v_cache_min control pageout hysteresis. Note * that these are more a measure of the VM cache queue hysteresis
