Abstract
An embodiment of the invention is a technique to affinitize a thread in a multiprocessor system having N clusters of processors. A count threshold is obtained for thread affinity of the thread. A first thread count is determined. The thread is affinitized to a first cluster in the N clusters of processors according to the first thread count and the count threshold.
