Hello, I would like to propose a new "CPUfs" project aimed at providing extended observability for the CPUs in the system and their sharing relationships. The main objective is to provide stable infrastructure for representing CPU properties for user-land applications.
Currently some CPU-related information can be obtained using prtconf(1M) and psrinfo(1M) which just a wrapper around the kstat (1M) framework. The kstat framework is usable for representing simple "flat" CPU properties, but using it becomes more and more of a stretch in the CMT world. The purpose of the CPUfs project is to explore using the file system abstraction to represent CPU properties. File system abstraction supports hierarchy and convenient name space. I suggest hosting the project under either Observability or Performance community. - akolb __ http://blogs.sun.com/akolb _______________________________________________ observability-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
