From: Rakib Mullick <rakib.mullick@...il.com>
To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>
Subject: ANNOUNCE: BLD-3.16 release.
Hello everyone,
It's been quite a long time since the announcement of the Barbershop Load
Distribution (BLD) Algorithm. Quite a few changes have been made, since then.
Now it more reflects what it really should be ;-). It's a simplistic approach
towards load balancing, typical x86 SMP boxes should run okay (tested personally)
, but, yes it can break your boxes too. I'm looking forward to get some feedback,
to keep further development up and going.
(This patch is made for kernel version 3.16.)
Thanks,
Rakib
