The runtime system will by default bind schedulers to logical processors
using the default_bind bind type if the amount of schedulers are at least
equal to the amount of logical processors configured, binding of schedulers
is supported, and a CPU topology is available at startup.
NOTE: If the Erlang runtime system is the only operating system process
that binds threads to logical processors, this improves the performance of
the runtime system. However, if other operating system processes (as for
example another Erlang runtime system) also bind threads to logical
processors, there might be a performance penalty instead. If this is the
case you, are are advised to unbind the schedulers using the <seealso
marker="erl#+sbt">+sbtu</seealso> command line argument, or by invoking
<seealso
marker="erlang#system_flag_scheduler_bind_type">erlang:system_flag(schedule
r_bind_type, unbound)</seealso>.

* bd/doc-fixes:
Fix minor documentation errors
|
|
Fix three minor typos and reorder one of a pair of lists of functions so that
the ordering is consistent.
|
|
It is now possible to increase or decrease the maximum number of atoms
the VM can handle. The default value is 1048576 (1024*1024).

environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features
are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are
removed in the generated links so the links will look like
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2
instead of
http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a
new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks
to Sergei Golovan)
- Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in
section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7.
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's
build process can be used for non OTP applications.

* egil/binary-gc:
Add documentation for binary heap size settings.
Add tracing capabilities for binary virtual heap
Add min heap size start options to beam and erl
Improve binary garbage collection
OTP-8370 The default settings for garbage collection of binaries has been
adjusted to be less aggressive than in R13B03. It is now also
possible configure the settings for binary GC. See the
documentation for spawn_opt/2-5, erlang:system_info/1,
erlang:system_flag/2, process_flag/2-3, erlang:trace/3, and the
documenation for erl for the new command line options +hms and
+hmbs.
