The adaptive spinning path will never run on a uniprocessor. Except for potential i-cache displacement you're not going to actually see any effect unless there is substantial contention. You'll need all threads consistently contending for the same lock. A potential workload to exercise this would be to run ncpu threads sending small UDP packets on a driver with a legacy mutex protected IFQ interface. > Also, yeah, the MOD operator in each loop could get spendy on older > CPUs (eg my MIPS CPUs, older ARM stuff, etc.) Is it possible to > achieve much the same autotuning with pow2 operations instead of > divide/mod? > > > -a > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current_at_freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe_at_freebsd.org"Received on Sun Jul 31 2016 - 19:57:59 UTC
