I found the following on github. https://github.com/pdxChen/gang/commits/sched_1.23-loadbal I would like to test this with KVMs. Are the commits from 38d5acb to f019876 sufficient? Also is there any documentaion on how to use it (any knobs I need to turn on for gang scheduling to happen?) or is it enabled by default for KVMs? Thanks, Subhra
