Hi! I've missed the message boats a few times so... Could anyone explain the affinity thing again. If I understood it correctly, it's used to lock a process to a certain CPU. When running say a SETI@Home and some other apps at the same time, and then check top, I see a behaviour for the SETI process where the status goes something like: CPU0->RUN->CPU1->RUN->CPU0.... Does that mean that the process is bouncing back and forth between the CPUs? Any help and explanations would be very much appreciated. BTW: I'm running a Dual Celeron on ABIT BP6 machine with FreeBSD 3.3 STABLE. -- Med vänlig hälsning, Yours Joachim Strömbergson - Alltid i harmonisk svängning ---------------- Ericsson Microwave Systems AB ----------------- Joachim Strömbergson http://www.ericsson.se/microwave ASIC System on Silicon engineer, nice to CUTE animals. * Opinions above, expressed or implicit, are strictly personal * ------------- Spamfodder: regeringen@regeringen.se ------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
