[GLLUG] Initialising /sys

[Hearns, John]

Hi Alain

An alternative might be to use the 'isolcpus=' kernel commandline parameter to isolate
all cpus above 0 from the scheduler. When you want to run a task on one of these cpus start it
with the 'taskset' command.

Sounds interesting.

Again from HPC it is common to use cpusets (which are a subset of cgroups).
On a large machine you create a ‘boot cpuset’ which contains the system processes in a small number of cores.
The user jobs are run on the other cores by creating cpusets for each job, then destroying them at the end of a job.


I’ve been thinking on doing a talk on cpusets for some time – I find it quite interesting anyway!
