i cannot see any difference with/without wake-balancing in this
workload, on a dual Xeon. Could you try the quick hack below and do:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic # turn on wake-balancing
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic # turn off wake-balancing
does the runtime switching show any effects on the throughput numbers
tbench is showing? I'm using dbench-3.03. (i only checked the status
numbers, didnt do full runs)
(did you have SCHED_SMT enabled?)
