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 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 correctly, nobody will ever notice

it's there or want to turn it off.

It is recommended to run irqbalance from the system boot-scripts. For
|
|
|
|
|
example, add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
|
|
|
|
|
if [ -x /usr/sbin/irqbalance ]; then
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/sbin/irqbalance
|
|
|
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Options that you can pass to the command are described in the man page.

|
|
|
libcap-ng is an optional dependency.
