The goal in launching the request smoketest is to have sufficient tasks running across the system such that we are likely to detect concurrency issues. We aim to have 2 tasks using the same engine, gt, device (each level of locking around submission and signaling) running at the same time. While tasks may not be running all the time as they synchronise with the gpu, they will be running most of the time, in which case having many more tasks than cores available is wasteful (and dramatically increases the workload causing excess runtime). Aim to limit the number of tasks such that there is at least 2 running per engine, spreading surplus cores around the engines (rather than running a task per core per engine.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
