Solution Unverified - Updated -

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
