Distribution of threads among multiple processors without pinning them to specific processors
Issue
- All threads of a multi-threaded application (which does lots of disk IO), run on the same CPU, while the other CPUs remain idle.
- Is there any way to influence the thread distribution without using the taskset tool to pin specific threads to processors.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
