Enhanced multicore load balancer with core-to-task ratio based trigger level
This work described here then proceeds to evaluate (1) the cost of migration using an industry standard micro-benchmark ‘lmbench’ on a uniquely configured piece of hardware to ensure fair comparison, (2) the number of migrations on a representative operating system used for departmental HPC (dominate...
