ULE scheduler and the WCPU column in top

2010-07-22 Thread Nerius Landys
I have this interesting behavior in the top utility on _both_ my 7.1 and 8.0 FreeBSD servers (updated to latest patches). The interesting behavior happens only when my kernel is compiled with the ULE scheduler. It does not happen when the kernel uses the old BSD scheduler. Here is a link

have a stock 7.0 release. I rebuilt the kernel with ULE scheduler, I think. How can I tell if it is running ULE or 4BSD?? David R. Stegner ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions

ULE Scheduler and overall performance on 6.x - Wow

Hi, I decided to give the ULE scheduler a try a while ago (April 28). when I last built 6-STABLE Anyhow it seems great. I'm running a 2.4GHz Celeron with 512MB RAM and two 40GB, PATA disks. Right now I'm running both a GNOME and a KDE session, I've got Thunderbird and Evolution open, Firefox

, with the 4BSD? is the ULE scheduler suited for a server setup as well (my server is also SMP), or is this something that should be kept to a desktop? thanks, jonathan horne On Sunday 07 May 2006 04:43, Duane Whitty wrote: Hi, I decided to give the ULE scheduler a try a while ago (April 28

I can't find any information on how to set the CPU affinity for processes in the FreeBSD 6 ULE scheduler. On the linux box, which we're moving from, I have dual Xeon HTT's that I have JBoss scheduled round-robin with the CPU affinity set to the first two processors, nice -15. I have Postgres
