    Increase Linux kernel computation speed

    Hi to all
    I attend to make special kernel build made only for one purpose: to compute mathematical problems faster.
    Please ,can someone verify that is correct optimization I can made in kernel

    - Try BFS, for a low end machine it might be better for multi-core tasks. []The kernel patch homepage of Con Kolivas
    Or
    - Build a custom kernel and set:
    Always use Transparent Huge Pages
    Disable paravirtualization
    100 HZ
    No Forced Preemption
    SLAB
    Pick optimizations for your cpu type


    Of course any other idea or link is highly welcome

    if you are sincere on that task, you will want to construct an apropriate test case, build a kernel for each of your tweaks and measure and compare the performance.

    i predict no more than 5% difference if you dont handle really complex datasets
