Greetings, Our cluster has both XEON, AMD Athlon, and AMD Opteron nodes. All are running 2.4.26-om1 kernel very nicely. What I have noticed, is that the XEON nodes, esp. the 3.0gHz ones, seem to get all the load sent to them, while the Opteron 242 @ 1.6 GHz, which is supposedly a more powerful machine than the XEON, does not get hardly any load at all. Is the load balancing being done solely on the basis of CPU MHz/GHz, asssuming memory is the same across all nodes? Is there any way to "weight" the AMD's heavier so that they get more utilized in the grand scheme of a loaded cluster? Am I nuts to even think this way? :) Thank you, Matt ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
