Subject: [9fans] Process distribution?
Date: Fri, 21 May 2004 13:37:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040521113733.LDBQ14728.mxfep02.bredband.com@mxfep02> (raw)



I have an idea, don't know though if it is in line with
the intentions of the plan 9 project, but anyway.

If when starting processes on my terminal the processes
would be started randomly to a number of CPU servers,
instead of manually bind to a CPU whenever I would start a
process/program. Could this work as a load balancing idea.

Functionality on the CPU servers to stop responding to CPU
binding requests when they would be overloaded, and accept
when the load drops. I read something about an effort to
make a program/process "scheduler" that would be based on
load of the CPU servers, but when enough CPU servers would be
setup, and enough terminals starting processes, wouldn't
this balance the CPU servers to a reasonable degree?

Just a though.
