Abstract
A method is provided to establish affinity for each pair of processors with a specific processor bus which eliminates the need for cross-bus operations in cache invalidation operations. Each pair of processors in the network is exercised for elapsed time of cache update cycle completion. Those pairs having the minimal execution times are then selected for utilization of applications to be executed.
