Re: [Xen-devel] Xen cpu usage limting

Hi Brian,

which version of Xen/Xenolinux are you using? the scheduler
implementation changed from 1.2 to 1.3-unstable.

This should definitely not happen!!! Could you provide a little more
detail on what is running in the different domains? 

In 1.2 the scheduler is a weighted proportional share scheduler (BVT)
and by default all domains get the same weight and therefore should get
the same share.

in 1.3 you have a boot-time choice between schedulers, BVT (same as in
1.2, Atropos (a soft real time scheduler based on EDF)

I have just tested with 1.3-unstable, four domains on a dual processor
machine (two domains per CPU) and BVT as the scheduler and they happily
share the CPU 50/50 if both run the equivalent of a while(1) loop.
