Though we haven't used it yet, as I understand it, CPU affinity is important to Python performance on SMP machines. I expect that we will write or find a simple user-space utility utilizing the new system calls to bind a group of processes to a single CPU. I think, in theory, this will allow us to successfully run two Zope instances on an inexpensive 2CPU machine, each instance bound to a respective CPU.
Heh, since I was looking at the page today, if you're talking about Robert Loves work, you can find it here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/cpu-affinity/ Very nice, since they have a proc-interface, so all you need is echo. I haven't tested it, but it sounds nice. cheers, oliver
