What is Irqbalance

==================

Irqbalance is a daemon to help balance the cpu load generated by interrupts

across all of a systems cpus.  Irqbalance identifies the highest volume

interrupt sources, and isolates them to a single unique cpu, so that load is

spread as much as possible over an entire processor set, while minimizing cache

miss rates for irq handlers.

## Building and Installing [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Irqbalance/irqbalance.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Irqbalance/irqbalance)

```bash

./configure [options]

make

make install

```

## Developing Irqbalance

Irqbalance is currently hosted on github, and so developers are welcome to use

the issue/pull request/etc infrastructure found there.  However, most

development discussions take place on the irqbalance mailing list, which can be

subscribed to at:

http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/irqbalance

New Developers are encouraged to use this mailing list to discuss ideas and

propose patches.

## Bug reporting

When something goes wrong, feel free to send us bugreport by one of the ways

described above. Your report should include:

* Irqbalance version you've been using (or commit hash)

* `/proc/interrupts` output

* `irqbalance --debug` output

* content of smp_affinity files - can be obtained by e.g.:

	`$ for i in $(seq 0 300); do grep . /proc/irq/$i/smp_affinity /dev/null 2>/dev/null; done`

* your hw hierarchy - e.g. `lstopo-no-graphics` output
