For Windows the processes float? Interesting!! I was just reporting what we were told eons ago -- that Processes were bound to a CPU on on startup on a Windows MultiProcessor... If that's not the case, even better ... Information in this area is hard to come by -- any authoritative information is welcome!! Where can we find more information on this?
"When you start up, in the case of a dual/quad-processor, my understanding is that process is 'bound' to whatever CPU the OS kicked it off on... So, in theory, you do get some advantage of multiple processors, but the load is not dynamically balanced based on usage. .... This is NOT how it works. The OS is able to start a process on a particular CPU and then can move the process on to other CPU's as it sees fit, to manage the load. E.g. does dynamically balance based on usage. There are OS commands to "bind" processes to CPUs, but these should not normally required, you are best to leave it up to the OS! ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
