=head1 NAME irqbalance - distribute hardware interrupts across processors on a multiprocessor system =head1 SYNOPSIS irqbalance [I | I] =head1 DESCRIPTION irqbalance is a Linux daemon that distributes interrupts over the processors and cores you have in your computer system. The design goal of irqbalance is to do find a balance between power savings and optimal performance. To a large degree, the work irqbalance does is invisible to you; if irqbalance performs its job right, nobody will ever notice it's there or want to turn it off. For more information, visit the irqbalance homepage at I. =head1 OPTIONS =over 7 =item B Prints debug messages on stdout. =item B Only do a one shot setup. =back =head1 ENVIRONMENT =over 7 =item B Bitmap of CPUs that are banned from IRQ balancing =item B Same as the oneshot option mentioned above. =item B Same as the debug option mentioned above. =item B Interrupt that don't get balanced as list (separation character doesn't matter). For example broken chipsets don't allow the timer interrupt to be set to another CPU than the first, and with this option that policy can be applied. =back =head1 SEE ALSO Homepage: I =head1 AUTHOR irqbalance was written by Arjan van de Ven Earjan@linux.intel.comE.
