Hi, here come the NUMA scheduler patches for 2.5.47 which emerged from Michael's and my work on NUMA schedulers. As usual in two parts: 01-numa-sched-core-2.5.47-21.patch: core NUMA scheduler infrastructure providing a node aware load_balancer 02-numa-sched-ilb-2.5.47-21.patch: initial load balancing, selects least loaded node & CPU at exec() An up-to-date BK tree containing the whole NUMA scheduler can be found at bk://numa-ef.bkbits.net/numa-sched . Regards, Erich
