there is some email exchange with Jesse Barnes from SGI on the LSE and linux-ia64 mailing lists. Date: 1.-5. March, 2002 Subject: Re: [Linux-ia64] O(1) scheduler K3+ for IA64 The success report was a personal email.
On LSE and linux-kernel there were some emails related to the node affine scheduler which contains the same migration mechanism (but a different load balancer): Date: 13. March and later Subject: Node affine NUMA scheduler
Besides, Matt Dobson from IBM adapted the node affine scheduler to work on NUMA-Q and tested it quite a bit, that email exchange was direct, too.
The testing on our side wasn't publicized, either, but our production kernel for AzusA (which contains these patches) is about to be sent out to customers and has undergone quite some testing.
It's a pity that there's so much duplicated effort in the Linux community, but that's how it goes, you probably know it better than I do.
Best regards, Erich
