<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the OS moves the process </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>from CPU #1 to CPU #2 when</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>CPU #2 needs from "details" about </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>said process it doesn't have to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>go back to main memory etc to get </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>it; it can (if still available)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>transfer that information direct using its

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>CPU #1.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's the rough gist of it and what makes Opterons

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You are 100 percent correct and I thank you for

the OS Scheduler. Now that doesn't make sense to me at all.</FONT></DIV>
