I am a student/EE attending a major university in southern california.
 My question is reguarding dynamic cpu resource allocation.
Currently, we are limited to 12.5% of the total processing power at
any given time. The system in question is a 13+ sparcs cpu sun
system. When I use some of the chip design software (mentor graphics
leonardo), it can take up to 4 hours to finish one task because I am
limited to 12.5% cpu power at any given time while idle processes are
upwards of 75%. I am up until 4am due to this poor cpu power
allocation scheme. I would like to bring this issue up with the chair
of the EE department and have him pressure the unix admin about the
situation. I am wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions
about how to implement dynamic cpu power allocation, so I don't sound
like I don't know what I am talking about when I speak with the chair
person.
Thanks in Advance
Brad
