Hi Linux expert,

Is there any mechanize on our Linux SDK to keep truck the operation status of each ARM-A cores and assign tasks to the right ARM-A core?

Thanks and Best regards,

Hi HaTa,

Can you please elaborate on what do you mean by keeping track of task and assigning tasks to right ARM-A core?

Hi Karan

For example,

- There are 4 ARM-A cores on Processor

- They are 2 type of algorithm to be processed on ARM-A core

- Want to use 2 ARM-A core for each algorithm processing

- OS on ARM-A core is Linux

Does user need to create the mechanism how to divide 1 algorithm processing

Do users have to think about how to split one algorithm and run it in two ARM-A cores, and have to make such a mechanism on Linux?

Or Linux already has such kind of mechanism?

Thanks and Best regards,

HaTa.

Linux kernel itslef does not have any algorithm like this for load balancing.
You can use usersapce tools like irqbalance or assign cpu affinity to tasks using tools like taskset
