Hi,
After a hiatus of 2 years, a new version of irqbalance is now released at http://www.irqbalance.org .
irqbalance is the tool that maps/distributes the different interrupts in your system to the various processors and cores that your computer may have.
This new version knows about, and optimizes for, Dual and Quad core, and knows about MSI, PCI-Express, NAPI, Cache domains, processor sockets etc etc. In addition, the new irqbalance switches to a power-save mode when there is little irq load on the system, trying to preserve power by avoiding waking up processors more than needed.
A more detailed description of how the new algorithm works can be found at http://www.irqbalance.org/documentation.php .
At this point only source packages are available, I hope that the linux vendors will have packages for the various distributions ready in a few days.
irqbalance is released under version 2 of the GNU General Public License.
