The way other OSes handle this is by detecting any abnormal amounts of faults (sometimes it's not the fault of the hardware - eg. when a partical from the outerspace hits a core and flips the bit), then the disable the core(s). Solaris & mainframe (z/OS) handle it this way, but you should google and find more info since I don't remember all the details. Also, see this presentation: "Getting to know the Solaris Fault Management Architecture (FMA)": http://www.prefetch.net/presentations/SolarisFaultManagement_Presentation.pdf Rayson ================================= Open Grid Scheduler / Grid Engine http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/ Scalable Grid Engine Support Program http://www.scalablelogic.com/ > > >> _______________________________________________ >> [email protected] mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" >> > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" -- Rayson ================================================== Open Grid Scheduler - The Official Open Source Grid Engine http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
